We build our documents from a Word document. So the customer has already selected the fonts in Word - and we must use those fonts. So I don't think that approach will work. And if it's Russian & Polish using Verdana, don't we then have to get 2 different Verdana fonts, one for each code page?

Add a font that isn't embedded first in row (one of the Standard Type 1 Fonts). Add a font like arialuni.ttf as last in row. If a character is encountered for which there isn't a glyph in the Standard Type 1 font, it will look for that glyph in arialuni.ttf. (See the example in chapter 9 and experiment with it.) -- This answer is provided by 1T3XT BVBA http://www.1t3xt.com/ - http://www.1t3xt.info ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------ _______________________________________________ iText-questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/itext-questions Buy the iText book: http://www.1t3xt.com/docs/book.php ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ iText-questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/itext-questions Buy the iText book: http://www.1t3xt.com/docs/book.php
