Hi!

People say that it's not possible to generate a PDF file with Central
European characters using only Base14 fonts and that embedding true type
fonts is necessary to achieve that. However I managed to do so, using
another technology, several years ago. Look at the example 
http://old.nabble.com/file/p31910912/pdf_pl.pdf pdf_pl.pdf  (it should looks
like  http://old.nabble.com/file/p31910912/pdf_pl.jpg pdf_pl.jpg ). This PDF
file contains:

4 0 obj
<<
/Type /Encoding
/BaseEncoding /WinAnsiEncoding
/Differences [
143 /Zacute
159 /zacute
140 /Sacute
156 /sacute
202 /Eogonek
234 /eogonek
198 /Cacute
230 /cacute
209 /Nacute

179 /lslash
165 /Aogonek
185 /aogonek
175 /Zdotaccent

endobj

The problem was described several times, e.g.:
http://old.nabble.com/Using-Central-European-characters-td3739791.html
https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17828

It seems that FOP 1.0 implements Central European encoding, for example in
src/codegen/fonts/encodings.xml there is definition of CE_ENCODING.

The question is: how could I generate PDF from 
http://old.nabble.com/file/p31910912/pltext.fo pltext.fo  (effect should
looks like  http://old.nabble.com/file/p31910912/pltext.jpg pltext.jpg )
using just Base14 fonts?

I would like to avoid embedding true type fonts to simplify the solution and
to keep PDF small. Embedded font means +300kb.

Regards,

Tomasz Judycki
