Re: font embedding

Hi Ektan

First of all, please post these questions to the mailing list and not to
me directly because (among other reasons) these questions might also be
interesting to others.

The PostScript Renderer currently does not support font embedding. To
get a PostScript file that contains embedded fonts, create a PDF and use
Acrobat Reader (under Linux) or Ghostscript to convert it to PostScript.

I can give some pointers in case you're interested to implement font
support for the PostScript renderer.

org.apache.fop.pdf contains Java classes representing objects defined by
the PDF spec. They are used to faciliate the production of PDF files.
org.apache.fop.render.pdf contains the actual PDF Renderer, the part
that converts the area tree into the target format (here PDF).
