I get asked about PGP > encryption but not about font embedding; why? True, I agree you should be able to review and change the settings from the "save as" dialog, not just font embedding, but various other properties as well like document descriptions, author, purge statistics, document signing,... > Third, how come the choice of whether or not to embed fonts is a property of > the document?

Because to embed fonts is a decision that needs to be done for each document depending on the use case and font copyright situation, and removing the embedded fonts choice is also something that needs to be explicit because it can have document structure implications. For example: - The document you use will always only be read and edited by you - no need to embed fonts. - Next document you will want that share so you want it to preserves the structure for others because there is a good chance that the fonts you're using they don't have - you select to embed fonts. - You get a document with embedded fonts, but you don't have the fonts installed on your computer and open the document, the structure of the document will be correct. Then you change the document and save it - the document will still have the embedded fonts - next time you open the document it will still display correctly. If this wouldn't be per-document choice, this use-case would fail silently. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
