HOWEVER, that OTF support is a FULL EMBED - you can't subset that way - and it's really deisgned for form field usage.
If you are just using the OTF for content (eg. regular text), then PoDoFo needs to be modified to "split the OTF apart" into it TTF or T1 origins and process it accordingly from there.

It should be pretty simple to add OpenType support to PoDoFo. The PDFReference chapter 5.8 contains the relevant information. To sum the necessary changes up, you will most likely have to: .. create a subclass PdfFontOpenType from PdfFontSimple analogus to the existing class PdfFontTrueType. * This class has to call PdfSimpleFont::Init with PdfName("OpenType") as parameter instead of TrueType * Use FontFile3 instead of FontFile2 as this tells any PDF reader that OpenType data is embedded instead of TrueType data. ... adapt PdfFontFactory to create a PdfFontOpenType if necessary ... extend PdfFontMetrics::SetFontTypeFromFilename to detect OTF Fonts by extension. I hope this easy steps will help you. best regards, Dom Am Dienstag, 30.
