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.

Subject: Fop generates cryptic font name

Hello everyone,

I'm using fop 0.20.5 to create PDFs with embedded fonts. 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?

Thanks in advance for any pointers,

Ulrich
