[VOTE] Applying the Type 1 subset patch
Hi All, About a week ago I posted a patch to add Type 1 subset support to FOP. All referenced Type 1 fonts (unless set to embedding-mode=full) will now be subset by default much like the behaviour exhibited by TrueType and OpenType. As this is a big feature and quite involved I think it is necessary to vote on whether to add this feature in it's current state to FOP. I'm not sure if anyone has taken a look at what has gone into this or tried it out yet, but it might be worth doing so before making your decision. I am going to be away for the next week or so but will tally up the votes and post the result once I am back. Here is a link to the patch and issue: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOP-2354 Regards, Robert Meyer

RE: [VOTE] Applying the Type 1 subset patch
The (optional) fontbox library dependency was added for the OpenType font / subset support which is already in trunk. This patch for subsetting Type 1 fonts adds no new dependencies and does not use fontbox.
