I went through some PDF libraries: itext and fop. When a truetype font needs to be embedded in PDF, Both libraries use truetype subset. iText uses CFF table if it presents.
Correct.
My question is why we use subset, but not the true type font program? Is it because of the size?
Yes! TTF fonts, esp. though that supports Unicode can be HUGE (10 or megs or more)
Second, If I do want to use the whole font program, is the table fpgm right one?
The ENTIRE font program is just that - byte 0 through n of the file format.
But WHY would you want to do that??
