pdf output

Hello,

I am using a relatively recent version of fontforge

I have noticed that when I choose to print a Full Page Glyph the PDF produced
is not correct.The first lines of the PDF file look as follows:


%PDF-1.4
%<81>â<82><83>
1 0 obj
<<
  /Title (Character Displays from SVRsymbols)
  /Creator (FontForge)
  /Producer (FontForge)
    /CreationDate (D:20160302201858--2'00')
  /Author (Apostolos Syropoulos)
>>
endobj

2 0 obj
<<
  /Pages 00007 0 R
  /Type /Catalog

endobj

Q

endstream

Now here the Q is not needed as there was no q. Also there is the following code

f
Q
Q

endstream
endobj
6 0 obj
 2509
endobj

Here clearly the second Q is not needed. Ghostscript 9.16 complains that

**** File has unbalanced q/Q operators (too many Q's) ****

When I replace these two Qs with single empty space, there is no complain.
So it seems to me the routine that generates PDF files must be corrected.

Regards,
A.S.
