+# pdftract-3uq: Font subtype classifier and BaseFont prefix stripper
+
+## Summary
+
+Implemented the font type classification module (`crates/pdftract-core/src/font/mod.rs`) with:
+
+1. **`FontKind` enum** - Represents all PDF font types:
+   - `Type1` - Non-Standard-14 Type 1 fonts
+   - `Type1Std14` - Standard 14 fonts (Times-Roman, Helvetica, Courier, Symbol, ZapfDingbats)
+   - `TrueType` - TrueType fonts
+   - `Type0` - Composite fonts with descendant CIDFonts
+   - `CIDFontType0` - CFF-based CID fonts
+   - `CIDFontType2` - TrueType-based CID fonts
+   - `Type3` - Bitmap/content-stream defined fonts
+   - `OpenTypeCFF` - OpenType fonts with CFF data
+
+2. **`strip_subset_prefix(name: &str) -> &str`** - Removes 6-uppercase-letter subset prefix
+   - Exactly validates 6 ASCII uppercase letters + `+`
+   - Returns unchanged for invalid patterns (too short, lowercase, no prefix)
+
+3. **`classify_font(font_dict: &PdfDict) -> FontKind`** - Classifies fonts by:
+   - Reading `/Subtype` to get base font type
+   - Checking Standard 14 font names (with or without subset prefix)
+   - For Type0 fonts, reading descendant CIDFont's `/Subtype`
+   - Checking `/FontDescriptor` for `/FontFile3` with `/Subtype /OpenType` to distinguish OpenTypeCFF
+
+## Acceptance Criteria Status
+
+| Criterion | Status | Notes |
+|-----------|--------|-------|
+| Unit tests for all 8 FontKind branches | PASS | 21 font-specific tests cover all branches |
+| `strip_subset_prefix("ABCDEF+Times-Roman") == "Times-Roman"` | PASS | Tested in `test_strip_subset_prefix_valid` |
+| `strip_subset_prefix("ABCD+Foo") == "ABCD+Foo"` | PASS | Tested in `test_strip_subset_prefix_too_short` |
+| `strip_subset_prefix("abcdef+Foo") == "abcdef+Foo"` | PASS | Tested in `test_strip_subset_prefix_lowercase` |
+| Std-14 detection ignores subset prefix | PASS | Tested in `test_is_standard_14_font` and `test_classify_font_type1_standard_with_subset` |
+
+## Implementation Details
+
+### FontKind enum methods
+- `is_standard_14()` - Returns true for Type1Std14
+- `is_cid_font()` - Returns true for Type0, CIDFontType0, CIDFontType2
+- `is_type3()` - Returns true for Type3 fonts
+
+### Standard 14 fonts
+The hardcoded list includes all 14 canonical names:
+- Times family: Times-Roman, Times-Bold, Times-Italic, Times-BoldItalic
+- Helvetica family: Helvetica, Helvetica-Bold, Helvetica-Oblique, Helvetica-BoldOblique
+- Courier family: Courier, Courier-Bold, Courier-Oblique, Courier-BoldOblique
+- Symbol, ZapfDingbats
+
+### Edge cases handled
+- `/Subtype` with or without leading slash
+- Missing `/Subtype` (defaults to Type1)
+- Empty or missing `/DescendantFonts` array for Type0 fonts
+- Indirect references to FontDescriptor or DescendantFonts (skipped, returns default)
+
+## Files Modified
+
+- `crates/pdftract-core/src/lib.rs` - Added `pub mod font;`
+- `crates/pdftract-core/src/font/mod.rs` - New module with FontKind enum and classifier functions
+
+## Testing
+
+All 27 font-related tests pass:
+- 21 tests in font::tests
+- 6 tests in other modules that reference font types
+
+Test coverage includes:
+- Subset prefix stripping (valid, invalid, edge cases)
+- Standard 14 font detection (with and without prefix)
+- All 8 FontKind variants
+- Type0 with CIDFont descendants
+- OpenTypeCFF detection via FontDescriptor
