Description

Packages which intentionally capture the username or hostname into a custom format,
but aren't obviously using any tool or system which has this as a core issue.
Interesting because they could be fixed by fixing these things at build time.

Identifier:

fonts_in_pdf_files
|
|
Description
|
The internally used names/identifiers of fonts embedded into PDF files varies.
The order of embedded fonts can also be different.
.
The order is only different if the date differs (set by TZ environment
variable for example). If the date is the same, then the font name
is reproducible. Difference in hour/minute/second resolution seems
to be irrelevant.
.
The font name occurs in the /BaseFont field and in the /Fontname field.
The name is of the form XXXXXX+YYY where the XXXXXX part is the one that
varies and is called the subset_tag. It is generated in
texk/web2c/pdftexdir/utils.c function make_subset_tag() from an MD5 sum
over the font glyphs.
