RE: [ft-devel] issue with ArialMT in 2.1.9

[Ian Brown]

Apparently, if you install v5 of the reader, you get the file
_A______.PDF in the Resource/Font directory. I have v6 installed which
has opentype fonts ... but apparently v5 installs this broken ArialMT.
Take a look in the Resources/Font directory of a V4 or V5 reader
installation.
The windows TTF is fine - the problem is specific to this PFB.

         Adobe has never shipped Arial - MT or otherwise.

         It is, however, a common Windows font - but usually in the TTF 
variety.
