# # Standard PDF Fonts
#
# This example shows all characters that are available in the standard 14 PDF
# fonts.
#
# The standard 14 PDF fonts are those fonts that all PDF reading/viewing
# applications need to support. They only provide a limited set of glyphs but
# have the advantage that they don't need to be embedded.
#
# Usage:
# : `ruby standard_pdf_fonts.rb`
