Right. Didn't think of that. My bad. Matching fonts ignoring whitespace is still necessary though. > Doesn't Acrobat come with a font substittion database?

All I know is that if Acrobat can't find the font in question, it synthesizes a new one from a MM Type1 font based on the style and character metrics that are always present in the PDF FontDescriptor. Ketih, do you have time to add matching that ignores whitespace for an upcoming release? It's no rush, and if you don't have time just say so and I'll try adding it myself. /tor _______________________________________________ Render mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/render
