/*
* Type 3 subsetting:
* Demonstrate Type 3 font definition, use, and subsetting
*
* In the first definition pass, create the "T3font" widths-only font by
* supplying all font and glyph metrics.
* Load the "T3font" font with "subsetting" and output some text.
* In the second definition pass, supply all glyph descriptions for the font.
* With the "subsetting" option PDFlib will include only those glyphs in the
* font which are actually used in the document in order to reduce the overall
* file size. However, the full metrics must be supplied in the first pass of
* the font definition.
*
* Required software: PDFlib/PDFlib+PDI/PPS 9
* Required data: none
