you say in your document: "Regular PDF file does not support such extra characters in basic fonts and - according to common opinion - it's necessary to use embedded True type fonts. This will add extra 300KB to final PDF document."
is the 300KB number just a guess or have you verified it? the use of embedded font does not, in general, include glyphs for all characters supported by a given font, but only those used in the document; in any case, i agree that FOP should attempt to support additional non-ASCII national characters in the Base14 fonts; i have a two comments and a question on your submission: (1) you use tabs in your changes to source materials (e.g., the Helvetica*.xml files); these need to be replaced with SPACE characters only; (2) to make this change only for Helvetica is sub-optimal, and will cause interoperability problems, so all of the Base14 fonts should be modified at the same time; (3) does your changes to the font files include kerning data updates? if not, then it probably should regards, glenn On Tue, Mar 27, 2012 at 10:54 AM, Tomasz Judycki <[email protected]> wrote: > > I solved the problem last year and just described the solution: > http://tv.com.pl/stepbystep/fop_pdf/ National characters in PDF base fonts > using Apache™ FOP > -- > View this message in context: > http://old.nabble.com/Central-European-characters-in-PDF-with-Base14-fonts-tp31910912p33544793.html > Sent from the FOP - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] > For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] > >
