Add a regression test for adjacent ROS and FontMatrix operators.
Add a Top DICT fixture where FontMatrix immediately follows ROS. Assert that all six matrix values are preserved. Also retain a case without ROS to cover the existing path.
Also applies to: 157-157

The current verification for font glyph widths matching PDF glyph widths in veraPDF fails for certain CFF based fonts because veraPDF parses the FontMatrix incorrectly when it directly follows the
ROSoperator in the CFF TopDict.For an affected example font, see Pennstander where this is the cause of juliusross1/Pennstander#29 (ignore the LLM hallucinations in the discussion, they are unrelated to the actual problem).
More details description of caused issue
The CFF font's TopDict in an example PDF as visualized by
txstarts withand validating the same PDF with veraPDF shows errors including
Note that 472024992/1195 is approximately 395000. This is because VeraPDF scales the width by the font matrix, but for the font matrix the 395 operator from ROS is picked up instead of the 1E-3 which is supposed to go to the FontMatrix.
The cause is two-fold: When CFFFontBaseParser reads
12 30(aka. ROS), it sets a flag but does not clear the stack, so the operators fromROSstay on the stack. This is different from all other operators which do clear the stack after they are done.For most operators additional stack elements do not make a difference since parameters are read form the top of the stack, but
12 7(aka. FontMatrix) reads it's 6 parameters from the stack starting with index 0 (the bottom), so it picks up any unexpected stack elements.Changing either of these things would fix the issue, but I suggest fixing both: Clearing the stack after
ROSis better for consistency and avoids unexpected stack states and reading the font matrix from the top of the stack is also more consistent and also better matches the specification.Summary by CodeRabbit
