does anyone understand the pdf file format
Show content

ok so imagine you have a 40 page pdf that you send to a printing company. you receive the printed pages and they look almost completely normal, except that on 27 of the 40 pages, the body text font (and only that font, and only the unformatted style of it; i.e. any italic or bold text still appears in the original font) has been replaced with an extremely similar lookalike font (that is definitely not embedded in the pdf, and not installed on the computer that was used to generate the pdf, and doesn't have a similar name or anything) which is almost unnoticeably similar (the differences are clearly visible if you look closely but they're not obvious) except that every instance of an "ff" ligature has been replaced with empty space

again, this happens on 27 of the 40 pages. the rest of the pages have the usual font and unbroken "ff" ligatures. there is seemingly no pattern as to which pages were affected; the unaffected pages are mostly odd-numbered but some aren't.

does anyone know what series of events would cause this to happen. how does the same font disappear from a random subset of pages and get replaced with an obscure copycat that somehow looks almost identical. i'm not looking for a solution, i just want to know how they fucked up the pdf format badly enough that this is a thing that can happen at all

Do you routinely google words to be sure you’ve correctly understood its meaning and connotation or are you normal?

Just saw two women walking side by side wearing blue and red respectively and my first thought was "JoyCons :0" the lobotomy is set for tomorrow.
