using Arial Font with fop in PDF, but support copy & paste
Hi,
i have a big problem to use Arial Font in my PDF.
The main thing is, that the document must be searchable, so embedding is not
the solution.
I look for weeks on many webpages and newsgroups, but nothing helps.
Things I have done:
Convert Arial to SVG and insert it via Fop -> Bug in Baltik generates
negative height
Generate Font metrics with -enc Ansi -> Ansi is not enough I need cyrillic
characters
I use Fop 0.20.5 and try Fop 1.0 dev for tests.
Some commercial tools support using own Fonts. I try IBEX PDF Creator and it
produce from a fo File a PDF. So what is the Problem in fop. I saw that the
Bug (#5335) is open in 2002.
Please help.
Thank you very much
Jörn

A contributor is currently working on font support which will address
this missing feature. I guess this will need some more time, however.

You are probably out of luck until the current development gets
production-ready.

Hm,
i can't understand your problem, we produce many pdfs with two fonts
"arial unicode" and "customer.ttf" as embedded fonts and we are able to
search via Acrobat or copy & paste text out of these documents. so what
is your problem?
