I was just wondering what is the use of this configuration if font metrics are 
not read from base14 fonts. The font-triplet should provide enough information 
for finding correct codepage and characterSet name to insert it as external 
object reference in afp file. How base14 attribute in afp font configuration 
help in?

Thanks & Regards,
Sandeep

yes default fonts means base14-font. The documentation doesn't currently
state that base14 fonts won't be embedded, but when you think about this
makes sense. You don't provide a path to actual font file so how could
it embed the font? If you remove the base14-font property and instead
add path or base-uri attribute to reference the font files then the
fonts will be embedded. Alternatively create a new font element if the
fonts aren't really the base fonts. If you don't have the font file then
you will have to go back to your client and get them. After all, how can
they expect you to embed them in the output if they don't provide them?

Thanks,

Chris
