The font itself includes a set of characters (glyphs), each of which has a name. In the most common case they will have names like a,b,c, A,B,C, three, comma, and so forth. The encoding MUST use the names actually found in the font. If you have a font program that uses names c00, c01, etc. this means someone has generated a font that uses those names - as you confirmed. Probably a programmatic conversion of some other font format. This is not a very helpful font (e.g. in a PDF file, text extraction will be likely impossible), but is often found. Purchased or built in type 1 fonts will usually use StandardEncoding or ISOLatin1Encoding, but each needs to be checked. The processing goes character number - name from encoding - find glyph in font with that name - show glyph. (Multibyte fonts such as those used for OpenType will usually use numbered characters instead). Aandi Inston
