> Key: FOP-2486

> Project: FOP
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: renderer/pcl
> Affects Versions: trunk
> Reporter: Robert Meyer
> Fix For: trunk

> Attachments: patch.diff, rasterized.pcl, softfonts.pcl

>
> Currently all fonts (except a limited set of native fonts) are rastered for
> PCL output. This has the problem of the documents being large in size and
> should FOP be used in the cloud, rendering to PCL would not be possible as
> it's using AWT.
> This patch in part resolves this problem by converting TrueType fonts to PCL
> soft fonts. This allows the size to be much smaller and has been a standard
> feature since PCL 5.
