Font Issue (Helvetica)
Hi,
I am trying to produce a pre-press ready PDF document (with embedded
fonts). But for some reason Helvetica will not be embedded correctly.
The configuration is correct (see below), the document properties of
Acrobat Professional 8 (see attached images) show that Helvetica is an
embedded font but when I run the preflight, all my text occurrences are
marked as "not embedded".
In the FO I am referencing the font this way: <fo:table
table-layout="fixed" width="180mm" font-family="Helvetica"
font-weight="normal" font-style="normal">
Putting or leaving the metrics-url attribute in the config doesn't make
a difference.
FOP: Ver. 0.95
OS: Windows Vista Business

------
<renderers>
<renderer mime="application/pdf">

<!-- register a particular font -->
<font embed-url="arial.ttf" metrics-url="arial.xml"

<font-triplet name="Helvetica" style="normal" weight="bold"/>
</font>

Thanks for the quick answer. I've read this paragraph. But when I send a
PDF to the print shop they'll make a preflight and complain whatever
font might not be embedded. I have no idea why this problem occurs - The
font seems to be embedded but not "properly". Any workarounds?
Regards,
Max

Unless you have very specific needs such as PDF/A compatibility
requirements, you need not, and in fact you should not embed neither
Helvetica nor any other "Base14" font (Times, Courier, Zapf Dingbats).
These are supposed to be available in all environments where you can
read PDF (even if this implies a font substitution).
Did you have a look at

Have a nice WE,

That did the trick... oh dear -a few hours of trial and error and I
didn't come up with this simple solution!
Thanks again, Jeremias.

Try setting font-family="Helvetica" on the fo:root. Maybe there's still
some text that is using the default font which may not be properly
mapped to the embedded Helvetica but to the implicit Base 14 Helvetica
(and Acrobat is not showing that correctly in the font dialog).
