[VOTE] Merge Temp_FontMerging to trunk
Hi,
I have been working on merging fonts inside pdf external graphic using the
pdf-plugin. The feature is disabled by default and can be enabled using
fop.xconf:
<fop version="1.0">
<renderers>
<renderer mime="application/pdf">
<merge-fonts>true</merge-fonts>
</renderer>
</renderers>
</fop>
It is using pdfbox 2.0 snapshot which requires Java 6 or later so you vote
needs to agree to end support for Java 5 on trunk.
It is supporting fonts of type CFF, Truetype, CID and Type1.
The vote will last 5 working days, ending next Friday.

Here is my vote: +1
Thanks

Hi Clay,
I think the plan is to release FOP v2.0 very shortly together with Java
6. This is so we can include the font merging feature. So the last Java
5 compatible version will be v1.1.
Thanks,
Chris

Will there be 'one last release using Java 5’ enabling the most widespread use of the latest FOP development or does this mean that the last version of Java 5 support will be FOP 1.1?
Either way, I think this is a great improvement!
Great work, Simon!
+1 from me.

Hi Simon,
This branch represents many months of hard work. Merging fonts within
separate PDFs is far from a trivial task, and has been requested by
almost everyone who uses the PDF Plug-in. Thanks you and well done on
bringing the implementation to this point.
I downloaded the branch and ran a couple of basic tests, seems ok from a
high level. Therefore I am +1 to merge this branch into trunk
Thanks,
Chris

I tested the code with some examples from a weekly newsletter that I receive
-- this is a good example because the newsletter is always created using the
same template and the same set of fonts (with a few exceptions).
The code worked mostly well but the output was not perfect with some of the
fonts, where some glyphs were missing of misplaced (causing overlap). So
there is still work to be done. Nevertheless, and since the feature is
disabled by default, I think there is value in merging this to trunk because
it does work in many situations. Besides I don't know if the problem is due
to this patch or to PDFBox. Hence +1.
Note: I will send the examples directly to Simon.
