Hi Lembit,
Sorry for slow reply, I've been on holiday. You really need to add
<optimize-resources>true</optimize-resources>
element to your fop.xconf file in the Postscript Renderer section.
Without that FOP can't accurately judge which characters can be subset
or not.
Adding encoding-mode attribute will circumvent the subset issue because
it will embed up to 256 characters, but since you are using a wide range
of characters that probably isn't enough.
I also recommend testing the Trunk version if that doesn't resolve your
issue, since a lot of bugs have been fixed since v1.1 was released.
Thanks,
Chris

Hello,
I am using FOP 1.1 to generate postscript files with embedded fonts.
Later I’m using ps2pdf to convert the postscript files to pdfs. The
text includes Lithuanian letters.
However, after coverting them to pdf, two specific letters are
displayed as squares, all the ohter Lituhuanian letters are displayed
correctly. The problematic letters are the upper- and lowercase
letters ė and Ė (e with dot, 0116 and 0117 in unicode). I can copy all
the letters from the pdf (including the two problematic ones – when
copying the square and pasting it somewhere, it displays the letter
correctly).
I am using the standard Arial font from Windows fonts (arial.ttf).
This is my fop-config.xml:
<configuration>
<renderers>
<renderer mime="application/postscript">
<auto-rotate-landscape>true</auto-rotate-landscape>
<fonts>
<font embed-url="./arial.ttf" encoding-mode="single-byte">
<font-triplet name="Arial" style="normal"
weight="normal"/>
</font>
</fonts>
</renderer>
</renderers>
</configuration>
When leaving out the encoding-mode=“single-byte“, the letters display
correctly, but when copying from the pdf, I get gibberish.
When generating straight to pdf with FOP, everything is displayed
correctly and copying is also possible.
I have tried other ps->pdf converters and they give the same result.
Using a metric file did not help.
The problem can be reproduced with the xml and xslt in the fop quick
start guide (https://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/quickstartguide.html)
with these modifications:
Set the name in name.xml to ABC14pąęčėųūĘĖŲČĄ.
Add the attribute font-familiy=“Arial“ to the fo:block in name2fo.xsl.
Use the above fop-config file and include the standard Arial font in
FOP’s directory.
Run ’fop -xml name.xml -xsl name2fo.xsl -ps name.ps -c fop-config.xml’
Can anyone suggest, what could be the issue or how should I go about
debugging this?
Thank You.
Lembit
