Hi,

I am using directly an PDFGraphics2D object to "draw" text and images 
directly in a PDF file.

I searched previous posts in this newsgroup and found a couple 
concerning font-embedding. However, can somebody check if I understood 
everything correctly ?

1. If I don't use font embedinng it is not garanteed that on the target 
platform the text in the PDF will be displayed correctly - meaning with 
the correct font. Is it guaranteed using font embbeding ? (whats the 
difference between full and subset embedding) ?

2. Using PDFGraphics2D I would like all fonts NEEDED/USED to be 
automatically embedded. Is this automatic behaviour possible - the 
default is not to embedd fonts I guess ?

Or does one have to embedd fonts at all, and can "draw" the glyphs as 
shapes instead - this way we wouldn't use a certain font, but shapes 
(font-independent).
Is this totally crazy ? If not, how do I do such a thing ?

3. Are there any Licence Violations if I embedd fonts - I guess not, as 
only glyphs/shapes are embedded, right ?


Cheers,
jago
