As far as I know this is correct. This ensures that the font embedded in the PDF document is always used, With no risk for collision with eventual fonts with the same name installed on the system that runs the PDF.

I generated the metrics files with fop and they look like this: <font-metrics type="TYPE0"> <font-name>ArialNarrow</font-name> <embed/> ... However, fop generates this in my PDFs: 8 0 obj << /Type /FontDescriptor /FontName /2Ebbf7ArialNarrow As you can see, there are a number of cryptic characters before the font name. Unfortunately, every time I re-run my program, these characters are different. This leads to a situation, where we have 1000 documents with (supposedly) 1000 different fonts, so the RIP continually re-generates the font, because it thinks it is a new one. This slows output down considerably. So, where does that prefix come from and how can I avoid it?
