Re: Current state of fonts+PDF files??? (embedding fonts in pdf)

2001-07-30 Thread Jeremias Maerki

 Now, the faq states that FOP does not support embedding fonts in PDF
 documents.  Is this information current?  I see the barcode fonts in my
 generated PDF document on my local development machine.  Is there planned
 support for embedded fonts in PDF?

That's not correct anymore: FOP does support embedding of TrueType and
Adobe PostScript Type 1 fonts. See the documentation on how to do this.


Alex, would you mind changing the entry in the FAQ?
http://www.owal.co.uk:8090/asf/servlet/asf/screen/DisplayQuestionAnswer/action/SetAll/project_id/18/faq_id/276/topic_id/496/question_id/800

See here http://xml.apache.org/fop/fonts.html to find out how to add
fonts to FOP and how to embedd them into the target PDF. Currently, FOP
supports embedding of TrueType and Adobe PostScript Type 1 fonts.

DONE!

Your wish is my command! Notice that I clearly dated the answer saying that it
wasn't implemented at that time (Dec 2000). The question and answer now states:

How do I embed fonts into the PDF? 

[OLD ANSWER: Currently, there is no support for embedding fonts into the PDF file.

Folks - remember that I am not a perfect FOP expert - I need a hand coming up
with FAQ questions and answers for many topics. 

Also feel free to pester me about features you want to see added to the FAQ 
eg seeing the whole faq on one page!!!

Thanks! But please look at my lastname again. There seems to be a
problem with a-umlaut.

Well, it would be cool if you could repair the login, so we can do the
hard work ourselves.

I've got barcodes working in my servlet and I'm programmatically loading
userconfig.xml. yay me.

Now, the faq states that FOP does not support embedding fonts in PDF
