does what is rendered actually match the glyphs as defined in the font, that is does it match what a basic font viewer would show (not what for example MS Word would make out of it)? The reason for the question is that (some) word processors can generate bold fonts from normal fonts by rendering the same glyph multiple times with a slight offset. FOP does not do that. It embeds the font unchanged and without any additional rendering instructions into the PDF (assuming you generate PDF). > Best regards, > Ben > Manuel --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
