During performance tuning, I came across the issue of non Base-14 fonts
killing performance. I have a pdf that renders in 20 seconds using the
Helvetica font but when the font is changed to a ttf file via the
userconfig.xml, the render time takes 2 minutes or more.
I have tried to create my own font class file within fop, similar to the
Base-14 fonts, to avoid all the extra parsing of the font metrics. This
has brought the time down to near what the Helvetica produces, but I get an
error "The font <whatever> contains a bad /BBox." from Acrobat.
I don't have a lot of research time in this area yet, so what I am assuming
may be way off. I am guessing that fop doesn't have a problem building the
pdf this way, but Acrobat can not deal with it because the font is not
embedded and Acrobat does not implicitly know about my new font since it is
not a Base-14 font.
Does anybody else know what might be happening? Any suggestions on how to
make this work? Can I force fop to embed my font in my font class somehow?
Has anyone else had to deal with non Base-14 performance?
Thanks group!
