> [PATCH] Soft font support for TrueType fonts in PCL
> ---------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: FOP-2486
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOP-2486
> Project: FOP
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: renderer/pcl
> Affects Versions: trunk
> Reporter: Robert Meyer
> Fix For: trunk
>
> Attachments: patch.diff, patch2.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.
> [EDIT] For all other fonts which are not TrueType it will still revert back
> to being rasterized. It will currently default to using soft fonts for
> TrueType fonts but this can overriden by using
> <text-rendering>bitmap</text-rendering>.
