Hi Tomasz, Sorry, maybe I didn't communicate what I meant properly. I wasn't saying there's no way to do that in PDF, or that the PDF spec doesn't allow that. I only meant that in FOP the base 14 fonts are encoded using WinAnsi. This means that FOP doesn't do what you're asking for. It is possible to get FOP to support more encodings, but the feature would have to be implemented.
