Ghostscript's Ken Sharp says:

"
The new PDF interpreter uses the object number, which is the unique 
identifier in PDF files, to key the fonts and as a result there is no 
longer any possibility of confusing two different fonts as being the same.
"

And I start doing some "flies buzzing in a bottle" thinking since I 
don't know what an "object number" is or does.

Is there a way to influence what object numbers are assigned to fonts?
