[jira] Commented: (MPPDF-34) Problem Embedding Arial Font
[ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MPPDF-34?page=comments#action_46625 ]
Lukas Theussl commented on MPPDF-34:
------------------------------------
Hi Valerie,
Thanks for all your testing! Unfortunately, the current maven-pdf-plugin does not support embedding of custom fonts at all. This has nothing to do with fop but with the xslt transformation that is used to generate the fo file. All fonts are hardcoded there. You could try to insert by hand a reference to your custom fonts into the fo file generated by maven and just run "pdf:pdf", you should get the fonts embedded then.
I will close this issue now and open a separate one with more specific explanations of what has to be done.

> Why this ? To suppress the messages that the font is not known.
> I assume just because my styles use the same font with different weights:

> </font>
