RE: Is embedding fonts significantly slower?
Title: RE: Is embedding fonts significantly slower? Yes, I also tried it with Unicode fonts, and it takes a lot longer to generate the file. It seems like embedding fonts in general is a slow process. melih -Original Message- From: news [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Arturo Pérez Sent: Monday, October 16, 2006 4:57 PM To: fop-users@xmlgraphics.apache.org Subject: Is embedding fonts significantly slower? Hi all, Has anyone benchmarked the performance of FOP 0.92 when embedding fonts versus not embedding fonts? I just started doing this with the DejaVu fonts in order to get some more Unicode glyphs and it seems a lot slower. I could quantify this further if you think that's necessary. I need to know in order to set expectations of the people receiving the PDFs. Alternatively, I could use the Unicode fonts only when I have an unusual glyph in the text (like arrows, etc) since the documentation says it will only embed the necessary characters from a TTF. Or perhaps it using Unicode/CID versus Adobe-defaults/WinAnsi that's the the cause? any pointers appreciated. -arturo - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: creating a PDF document containing UTF-8 characters
Thank you Jeremias, I followed the instructions and now I can make it work by embedding the font in the document. Looking at the samples in userconfig.xml, this is how I register the fonts: font metrics-file=ttfarialuni.xml embed-file=C:\WINDOWS\Fonts\ArialUni.ttf kerning=yes font-triplet name=ArialUni style=normal weight=normal/ font-triplet name=ArialUni style=normal weight=bold/ font-triplet name=ArialUni style=italic weight=normal/ font-triplet name=ArialUni style=italic weight=bold/ /font /fonts What happens if I omit the embed-file tag? After the PDF is created, on the client machine, how will it find the right font to display the characters in that case? With this flag, does FO include whole font in the PDF, or just a subset to be able to display the Unicode characters?

RE: creating a PDF document containing UTF-8 characters
Thank you for this info. Is there a way to set the font for the whole document so that it would render the Japanese characters correctly? melih -Original Message- From: Jeremias Maerki [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, August 30, 2005 12:29 AM To: fop-users@xmlgraphics.apache.org Subject: Re: creating a PDF document containing UTF-8 characters It's not a bug.

Yet, once I render it, each Japanese character is displayed as a pound sign (#). Is this a known bug, or am I missing something?
