I think PDFGraphics2D may need methods added to it that allows a user to specify:
1) Which True Type fonts to map to which Type 1 fonts.
A user might want to display on his local monitor in Coolvetica rathan than Arial
and then generate to PDF
using Helvetica.
So it isn't enough simply to add a mapping from Arial to Helvetica in
FontInfo/FontSetup.
2) To embed particular fonts (whether True Type or Type 1) in the generated PDF.
For some fonts the user might want to map to some core PDF font. But for other
fonts the user might want to
do embedding.
I also think this embedding ought to be smart: Only embed those characters that are
used.
I foresee myself wanting to generate the same basic document but in different sizes.
So for people who want
small fast downloads I'd want to map to the core Type 1 fonts of PDF. But for people
who want a nicer looking
document I can foresee wanting to embed a lot of TT fonts in the PDF. Also, the same
user might want to get
drafts that are with core fonts so that the document is small. But then in the final
production run of the
document the user may then want to ask for embedding to get more preferred fonts used
in final production.
