But the real issue is that using TTF or OTF fonts is much slower, as therion converts them on the fly to a set of PFB fonts (each font containing at most 256 characters) because MetaPost can't use unicode fonts.

Maybe the default therion font should be set to a unicode one so it works for more people/languages/countries? That seems sensible at this point. Pretty-much everyone should have unicode fonts avaiable and working, shouldn't they?

Re: [Therion] Change default PDF output font
Thanks Martin, I have that working. I'm on Windows, where it seems slightly more tricky as Windows only displays the font names, not the individual style specific font files. If anyone else gets stuck with that, the Font Name > Font File mappings can be viewed through Regedit: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts\ This will be really handy as our Māori alphabet includes accented characters unavailable in the default non-Unicode set.

Re: [Therion] Change default PDF output font
Hi, to change the font family, use the "pdf-fonts" setting in the ini file (see the thbook, page 89). The easiest way to change the default style of all texts to e.g. italics, just use the same italic font five times in the "pdf-fonts" specification.
