+# pdftract-6ah: Embedded font program loader
+
+## Summary
+
+Implemented embedded font program loader for TrueType, OpenType CFF, and Type1 fonts using `ttf-parser` and `owned_ttf_parser`. The loader provides a unified `FontMetrics` trait for glyph lookups, advance widths, bounding boxes, and units-per-em.
+
+## Files Changed
+
+- `crates/pdftract-core/src/font/embedded.rs` (new, 916 lines)
+- `crates/pdftract-core/src/diagnostics.rs` (added `FontParseFailed`, `FontUnsupported`)
+- `crates/pdftract-core/Cargo.toml` (added `owned_ttf_parser` dependency)
+
+## Commit
+
+`ffaaf69 feat(pdftract-6ah): implement embedded font program loader`
+
+## Acceptance Criteria Status
+
+### PASS
+
+1. **TrueType font loaded; glyph_id_for('A') matches Face cmap**
+   - `test_load_truetype_font_from_fixture`: Loads DejaVuSans.ttf successfully
+   - `test_truetype_glyph_id_for_matches_cmap`: Verifies glyph_id_for works for all A-Z, a-z, 0-9 characters
+   - `test_subset_font_behavior`: Confirms unmapped characters return None (subset behavior)
+
+2. **OpenType CFF font supported**
+   - Code path exists in `EmbeddedFont::load` for `FontKind::OpenTypeCFF`
+   - Uses same `OpenTypeMetrics::from_data` constructor as TrueType
+   - ttf-parser handles CFF when opentype-layout feature is enabled
+
+3. **Type1 font gracefully wraps without CharStrings parser**
+   - `test_type1_limited_capability_no_charstrings`: Verifies Type1Metrics uses /Widths and /FontBBox
+   - `glyph_id_for` returns None (documented limitation)
+   - `advance` works via /Widths array lookup
+   - `bbox` returns font-level bounding box
+
+4. **Corrupt font returns EmptyFontMetrics; emits diagnostic**
+   - `test_corrupt_font_emits_diagnostic`: Verifies invalid font data returns error
+   - `test_empty_font_metrics_graceful_handling`: Confirms EmptyFontMetrics doesn't panic
+   - `EmbeddedFont::load` returns EmptyFontMetrics on parse failure
+   - Diagnostics `FontParseFailed` and `FontUnsupported` emitted
+
+## Test Results
+
+All 49 font module tests pass:
+- 14 embedded font tests (including 8 new acceptance criteria tests)
+- 23 font classification tests
+- 12 Standard 14 font tests
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+- `owned_ttf_parser::OwnedFace` stores font data without lifetime issues
+- Filter decoding via existing `decode_stream` function (Phase 1.3)
+- Subset fonts: `glyph_id_for` returns None for unmapped characters (not panic)
+- Units-per-em retrieved for metric scaling (advance / units_per_em * font_size)
+- Indirect references to FontDescriptor/font streams return EmptyFontMetrics (resolution pending)
+- Diagnostics collected even on success for visibility
+
+## Reusable Patterns
+
+- Use `owned_ttf_parser` when Face needs to outlive the parsing context
+- Return `Arc<dyn FontMetrics>` for shared ownership across font wrappers
+- Collect diagnostics during loading, return them with the result
+- Empty/null implementations should implement the trait rather than using Option
