Hi,

2 other topics rise here:

1/ Only metrics for base 14 fonts are provided by FOP.
fonts files are not embedded.
used font files depends on what is installed on the system of PDF reader:
When Helvetica is set, usually, Arial is used on Win systems, Helvetica on Mac.
For those both fonts, metrics are equivalent, not glyphes shapes.
This explains why you don't need to embed font files for regular PDF when you use base 14 fonts.

2/ For SVG, fonts must be available for both FOP (via config file), and Batik (witch picks system font data via the java AWT package.

Hi Pascal,

I don't understand why a simple fo file with texte fo:block
font-family="Helvetica" work fine in PDF-A (no license problem)
and an fo file with SVG image don't work.

Hi,

embedding fonts is required by the PDF/A-1b spec, even when you use some
of base 14 fonts.

Since there is license restriction with Helvetica (and other base 14)
font, it is not embedded by default. You have to get it by yourself (you
can purchase it on vendor's web site).

Or you can use another font that is free of charge, like dejaVu (see [1]).

org.apache.fop.pdf.PDFConformanceException: For PDF/A-1b, all fonts,
even the base 14 fonts, have to be embedded! Offending font: /Helvetica
no problem with an .JPG image
Here is my fo file :

I send you my files : .fo, userconfig.xml, image1.svg

Note that I add the font “any” in my userconfig.xml for a PDF/A
workarround for fonts used in the fo but that are not present in the
UserConfig
