Re: Having a font which is not embedded in the PDF
Ask Jeremias Good name for a company. :-) Anyway, as far as I can tell you can omit the embed-file for Type1 fonts if the name under which the font is registered matches a font that is registered in your operating system's font subsystem. For TrueType this doesn't work because currently FOP does something wrong with the (multibyte) character encodings. It may work if you're using an 8 bit encoding though I haven't tested. This encoding problem is fixed in Foray where omitting embed-file might work, though I haven't tested either. I've used non-embedded Type1 fonts so the PDF/PS file sizes stay small for high-volume processing. The fonts were installed directly in the printer's RIPs.

Other PDF tools can do this (i.e. put some info about the font into the PDF which causes Acrobat Reader to ask the OS for fonts).

Re: Having a font which is not embedded in the PDF
Clay Leeds wrote: Have you tried creating the PDF file without using userconfig.xml font metrics files? Perhaps that will just work? Not embedding the font is achieved just by omitting the embed-file attribute in the font declaration. FOP still needs the font declarations in a userconfiguration file and the font metrics files, because the character widths therein are the base for line layout. Unfortunately, PDF with user specified fonts which haven't been embedded wont work in Acrobat Reader, unless Acrobat Font Manager is running and the font is registered there. In particular, Acrobat Reader wont look for fonts in the Windows font directory for FOP generated PDF files. I suspect thiss is also true for most other PDF tools. Summary: if you don't embed user fonts, you should know what you are doing. J.Pietschmann - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Having a font which is not embedded in the PDF
Hi, I want to create a PDF but the fonts should not be embedded to the PDF. When I open the PDF it should take the font from my default OS fonts folder (e.g. C:\Winnt\Fonts). With the attached userconfig.xml and the font metric (arial.xml), I'm able to create a PDF with the Arial font, but this is always embedded in to the created PDF. How can I created a PDF so that the font is not embedded in to PDF and it will take the font from the OS fonts folder? (assuming that the fonts are installed in the machine) Please help, Thank you, Regards, Chanaka configuration entry keybaseDir/key value./com/ini/common/font//value /entry fonts !-- Arial -- font metrics-file=xml/arial.xml kerning=yes embed-file=ttf/arial.ttf font-triplet name=Arial style=normal weight=normal/ /font /fonts /configuration ?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8? font-metrics type=TYPE0font-nameArial/font-nameembed/ cap-height715/cap-heightx-height518/x-heightascender780/ascenderdescender-211/descenderbboxleft-664/leftbottom-324/bottomright2028/righttop737/top/bboxflags32/flagsstemv0/stemvitalicangle0/italicanglesubtypeTYPE0/subtypemultibyte-extrascid-typeCIDFontType2/cid-typedefault-width0/default-widthbfrangesbf gi=3 ue=126 us=32/ bf gi=3 ue=160 us=160/ bf gi=163 ue=161 us=161/ bf gi=132 ue=163 us=162/ bf gi=862 ue=164 us=164/ bf gi=150 ue=165 us=165/ bf gi=230 ue=166 us=166/ bf gi=134 ue=167 us=167/ bf gi=142 ue=168 us=168/ bf gi=139 ue=169 us=169/ bf gi=157 ue=170 us=170/ bf gi=169 ue=171 us=171/ bf gi=164 ue=172 us=172/ bf gi=16 ue=173 us=173/ bf gi=138 ue=174 us=174/ bf gi=256 ue=175 us=175/ bf gi=131 ue=176 us=176/ bf gi=147 ue=177 us=177/ bf gi=240 ue=179 us=178/ bf gi=141 ue=180 us=180/ bf gi=151 ue=181 us=181/ bf gi=136 ue=182 us=182/ bf gi=194 ue=183 us=183/ bf gi=220 ue=184 us=184/ bf gi=239 ue=185 us=185/ bf gi=158 ue=186 us=186/ bf gi=170 ue=187 us=187/ bf gi=243 ue=188 us=188/ bf gi=242 ue=189 us=189/ bf gi=244 ue=190 us=190/ bf gi=162 ue=191 us=191/ bf gi=172 ue=192 us=192/ bf gi=200 ue=193 us=193/ bf gi=198 ue=194 us=194/ bf gi=173 ue=195 us=195/ bf gi=98 ue=197 us=196/ bf gi=144 ue=198 us=198/ bf gi=100 ue=199 us=199/ bf gi=202 ue=200 us=200/ bf gi=101 ue=201 us=201/ bf gi=199 ue=202 us=202/ bf gi=201 ue=203 us=203/ bf gi=206 ue=204 us=204/ bf gi=203 ue=207 us=205/ bf gi=231 ue=208 us=208/ bf gi=102 ue=209 us=209/ bf gi=209 ue=210 us=210/ bf gi=207 ue=212 us=211/ bf gi=174 ue=213 us=213/ bf gi=103 ue=214 us=214/ bf gi=238 ue=215 us=215/ bf gi=145 ue=216 us=216/ bf gi=212 ue=217 us=217/ bf gi=210 ue=219 us=218/ bf gi=104 ue=220 us=220/ bf gi=233 ue=221 us=221/ bf gi=235 ue=222 us=222/ bf gi=137 ue=223 us=223/ bf gi=106 ue=224 us=224/ bf gi=105 ue=225 us=225/ bf gi=107 ue=226 us=226/ bf gi=109 ue=227 us=227/ bf gi=108 ue=228 us=228/ bf gi=110 ue=229 us=229/ bf gi=160 ue=230 us=230/ bf gi=111 ue=231 us=231/ bf gi=113 ue=232 us=232/ bf gi=112 ue=233 us=233/ bf gi=114 ue=235 us=234/ bf gi=117 ue=236 us=236/ bf gi=116 ue=237 us=237/ bf gi=118 ue=239 us=238/ bf gi=232 ue=240 us=240/ bf gi=120 ue=241 us=241/ bf gi=122 ue=242 us=242/ bf gi=121 ue=243 us=243/ bf gi=123 ue=244 us=244/ bf gi=125 ue=245 us=245/ bf gi=124 ue=246 us=246/ bf gi=183 ue=247 us=247/ bf gi=161 ue=248 us=248/ bf gi=127 ue=249 us=249/ bf gi=126 ue=250 us=250/ bf gi=128 ue=252 us=251/ bf gi=234 ue=253 us=253/ bf gi=236 ue=254 us=254/ bf gi=185 ue=255 us=255/ bf gi=406 ue=257 us=256/ bf gi=258 ue=261 us=258/ bf gi=251 ue=263 us=262/ bf gi=408 ue=267 us=264/ bf gi=253 ue=269 us=268/ bf gi=262 ue=272 us=270/ bf gi=255 ue=273 us=273/ bf gi=412 ue=279 us=274/ bf gi=265 ue=283 us=280/ bf gi=418 ue=285 us=284/ bf gi=246 ue=287 us=286/ bf gi=420 ue=303 us=288/ bf gi=248 ue=304 us=304/ bf gi=213 ue=305 us=305/ bf gi=394 ue=307 us=306/ bf gi=436 ue=312 us=308/ bf gi=269 ue=314 us=313/ bf gi=441 ue=316 us=315/ bf gi=271 ue=320 us=317/ bf gi=224 ue=322 us=321/ bf gi=275 ue=324 us=323/ bf gi=443 ue=326 us=325/ bf gi=277 ue=328 us=327/ bf gi=396 ue=329 us=329/ bf gi=445 ue=335 us=330/ bf gi=279 ue=337 us=336/ bf gi=175 ue=339 us=338/ bf gi=281 ue=341 us=340/ bf gi=451 ue=343 us=342/ bf gi=283 ue=347 us=344/ bf gi=453 ue=349 us=348/ bf gi=249 ue=351 us=350/ bf gi=226 ue=353 us=352/ bf gi=287 ue=357 us=354/ bf gi=455 ue=365 us=358/ bf gi=291 ue=369 us=366/ bf gi=463 ue=375 us=370/ bf gi=186 ue=376 us=376/ bf gi=295 ue=380 us=377/ bf gi=228 ue=382 us=381/ bf gi=469 ue=383 us=383/ bf gi=166 ue=402 us=402/ bf gi=1130 ue=417 us=416/ bf gi=1132 ue=432 us=431/ bf gi=1276 ue=476 us=461/ bf gi=470 ue=511 us=506/ bf gi=214 ue=710 us=710/ bf gi=223 ue=711 us=711/ bf gi=216 ue=713 us=713/ bf gi=217 ue=730 us=728/ bf gi=222 ue=731 us=731/ bf gi=215 ue=732 us=732/ bf gi=221 ue=733 us=733/ bf

If you must use a font different from Base-14 Fonts[1], it may be necessary to embed the font to ensure the integrity of page displayed is maintained.
