Fonts problem - "not embed"
Hi,
if I try to use Verdana and not embed it, the resulting PDF cannot be
shown correctly in the Adobe Reader. The Font is identified (in the
Reader) as
Verdana
-Type: TrueType(CID)
-Coding: Identity-H
-Originial-Font: Unknown
I created the fonts-metrics with the Fop-Util-Application and used the
following lines in the fop-Configuration.
<font metrics-url="verdana.xml" kerning="true">
<font-triplet name="Verdana" style="normal" weight="normal"/>
</font>
I think, the Adobe Reader cannot identify the Font as the "Verdana" font
installed on the system (Windows XP).
Any suggestions on how I can make the PDF reference the "correct" Verdana?
Thanx
Andreas

Re: Fonts problem - "not embed"

Currently, you can only reference a TrueType font if you generate the
font metrics in WinAnsi mode (-enc ansi). Obviously, that will restrict
you to a subset of the available glyphs. It's a limitation of FOP.
This is documented here: http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/0.94/fonts.html#embedding
