Right but the problem is that the /generated/ file is wrong. Specifically, if I print to a PDF file while the msttcorefonts Arial font is not available, the file can be transferred to another machine with the Arial fonts and still not display properly. I have no idea what program converts the worksheets to a PDF file but the problem lies in that code I am afraid.
