Upgrade your server, first with 7.0.1 then 7.0.2 you'll still have some
interesting issues but it will be better than it is on 7.0 (at least
that's been my experience with the tag).  We allow our users to create
the HTML using FCKEditor and we still have a number of issues
(especially with underlines and bolding) relating to the translation
from HTML to PDF.

Subject: Quicky question re: cfdocument and fonts

Howdy --

I'm making my first use of cfdocument (no jokes about being behind the
times, please -- I've been busy with other
things), and it seems that no matter what I specify in the <font> tag
inside the cfdocument, the resulting PDF displays
the content in the same Times Roman font in whatever the default font
size is (looks like about 12).  I tried lots of
the different font faces listed on my CF Administrator's Font Management
page, but I keep getting the same result.  Have
also tried both "yes" and "no" fontembed settings, makes no difference.
For that matter, I can't even get it to pay
attention to <font size="whatever"> tags.  The size of the type in the
PDF is properly affected by tags like <h1>, but
<font> doesn't seem to be having any effect at all.

I searched around a bit before writing this post, and I found a little
bit of material alluding to there being some font
problems with cfdocument in 7.0, but it wasn't clear to me that Updater
1 really fixed it, as there seem to be some more
recent hotfixes for the same problem.  I really couldn't find a good
summary of the whole issue.

Bottom line: I'm running MX 7 (version 7,0,0,91690 -- again, no jokes
about behind the times; I believe in not fixing it
if it ain't broke, but now it's broke) on Linux.  Can anybody tell me
what I have to do to get my cfdocument-produced
PDFs to pay attention to my <font> tags?
