Auto dectect font and embedding

[Raphael Parree <rp...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

On the fop web site i found the following (
http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/trunk/fonts.html#autodetect)
"By default, all fonts are embedded if an output format supports font
embedding"

(I am using auto detect font)..

Later on that same page: "When FOP embeds a font, it adds a prefix to the
fontname..."

When i look at the Fonts tab in Adobe Acrobat (Document Properties) I don't
see these prefixes. Does that mean my fonts are not embedded.

(I am using today's most recent version from the trunk)

If they are not embedded, how can i embed them?

tx.,

Raphael

Vincent,

Thanks for clearing that up. All true type fonts are embedded, only the Type
1 fonts Helvetica and Courier are not embedded. I will try substituting
these with Arial and Courier new resp.

tx!

No: usually PDF viewers will skip the prefix when displaying the names
of embedded fonts. You should see ‘embedded subset’ in the properties
dialog box next to the font name. If the font is not embedded you will
see an ‘Actual Font:’ below the name of the font.
