My solution was to embed the entire font with the 'enc -ansi' option, then post-process them with Neevia Document Converter to subset the fonts. This does a little better job with the subsetting as you can still search.
I believe Neevia just calls ghostscript to do this function. I'm not positive though, but since Neevia already worked, it was cheaper than developing a solution with ghostscript. -----Original Message----- From: Ricardo Coutinho [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, August 29, 2003 9:46 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: PDF generation with only a subset of a Font embedded? Thanks for the reply, Okay then let me explain my actual problem which I thought was due to my font metrics files. My font metrics file were created with a previous version of FOP, i.e. there was no '-enc ansi' option. My problem is that the I can not search the text in the generated PDFs. When looking at the PDF with an editor , it appears that everything is an image. Is this due to the fact the metrics files were CID-keyed? I read the information on the http://xml.apache.org/fop/fonts.html#truetype-metrics page explaining the differences in the metrics file generation. Although using the metrics file with the '-enc ansi' fixes this problem, I am then have bloated PDFs. Are there any other alternatives?

By default, unless you specified '-enc ansi' when you created the metrics, FOP subsets TrueType fonts. -----Original Message----- From: Ricardo Coutinho [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, August 29, 2003 7:40 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: PDF generation with only a subset of a Font embedded? Hi all, Does FOP support this feature. If so, then how can I enable it. The complete embedding of the true type fonts is creating far too large pdfs. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] __________________________________________________________________________ � This email and any files transmitted with it are CONFIDENTIAL and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to which they are addressed. � Any unauthorized copying, disclosure, or distribution of the material within this email is strictly forbidden. � Any views or opinions presented within this e-mail are solely those of the author and do not necessarily represent those of Odyssey Asset Management Systems SA unless otherwise specifically stated. � An electronic message is not binding on its sender.
