If you embed Type1 fonts (afm or pfm + pfb), iText will embed the complete font. (But most Type1 fonts aren't that big.) If you embed True Type or Open Type fonts with True Type oulines (ttf files), iText will automatically subset the font. Now if you create the large document with the fonts embedded, chances are the separate files won't be that large, because you're basically using an alphabet of 26 letters (times 2 for caps) and some interpunction. If you have a capital Z in one page, the description of this glyph will also be in the subsetted font of documents that don't contain the capital Z, but that's not a technical problem. The file will be a little bit bigger because of the unused Z, but is that a problem? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Verizon Developer Community Take advantage of Verizon's best-in-class app development support A streamlined, 14 day to market process makes app distribution fast and easy Join now and get one step closer to millions of Verizon customers http://p.sf.net/sfu/verizon-dev2dev _______________________________________________ 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 Check the site with examples before you ask questions: http://www.1t3xt.info/examples/ You can also search the keywords list: http://1t3xt.info/tutorials/keywords/
