Hi Mehdi, Have you looked at pdf_pl.pdf attached to my first post? This is proof that it's possible to do what I want. The size of this file is < 12kb, definitely no embedded fonts but all Polish characters are properly printed. I guess you can't read Polish but compare PDF with JPG and if they look the same you can't say that there's no way to do that.
I just don't know how to use the same method using FOP.
