My original thought was to look at the specs for the full font. But doing google searches, I cannot find any description of the font. Since it was a Type0 font, I thought it would be defined somewhere in fontbox, but it is not one of the 14 Adobe defined fonts. I think that is the part I just don't understand - how can it be a Type0 font?
