What do you mean by font encryption? I assume you mean there is no way for me
to write a PostScript program that can print out the values and BuildChar
definitions for the built-in fonts? I've also heard talk about "hints", and
haven't heard a good techie explanation of what they are and why Adobe fonts
are the only ones with "hints".
Hmm. They must play with big magic. Let's see… they'd have to have some
kind of scheme where the decrypter is in the ROM, and is invoked to operate on
the downloaded font. So all you'd have to do is disassemble the code and/or
tokens in the ROM. Good luck. But what about the fonts in the ROMs? Is it
possible to print the contents of a font, in order to see the strokes in it?
