Chris, Christine, Sandra, and everyone else --
A bit of a mea culpa here, with some progress but some persistent problems...
Thanks again for your previous efforts to help me with my problem making font
adjustments in PDFs produced with
cfdocument in CFMX 7.0 (Linux). I discovered a typo in my inline style font
directive that was causing part of the
problem. The "<font>" tag still doesn't work, but inline style directives are
beginning to work. I now have partial
control over the font in the PDF, by which I mean I can control font sizes
using the "font-size" directive and, using
the "font" directive, I can switch (to some degree) among the fonts of font
type "ADOBE-BUILT-IN" as listed on the CFMX
server's Font Management page. By "some degree" I mean I seem to be able to
access only the base fonts. For example,
font:Times-Roman works, but font:Times-Italic doesn't. Furthermore, whenever I
refer to any of the fonts that are
listed in the Font Management page as being of font type "TRUETYPE", I merely
get the default Times Roman.
Along the lines of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it," I'm now wondering if I
really do have to update my server as you,
Christine, suggested. Do y'all have any other suggestions for accessing the
TrueType fonts (e.g., Arioso, Chevara,
Conga, Helmet) listed on my CFMX server's Font Management page? Again, I've
tried this with both fontembed settings
("yes" and "no"), to no avail; I just keep getting the default Times Roman
whenever I reference a TrueType font. I've
also verified my font directives are inside the cfdocument structure.
