The answer is no. It is not the renderer's responsability. If the font is not installed there is no way that another program can show it. There is no legal way to use fonts from a document. If the font is embedded in the document (like PDF and all MS documents) it works WITHIN the document. By doing a PDFimport you are converting the document so in all senses it is no longer the same document and therefore it looses the right to use the fonts. The fonts have included "instructions" on what you can do with them: freely distribute, distribute for read only formats (such as PDF) or don't distribute at all. This is due to Copyrights from the author of the font. In any case, most of the times fonts are embedded as a subset (e.g. if you embed the word Attention in a given font, only characters A, t, e, n, i, o are included) so even if you could extract it, it would only allow you to write words with those characters :) Hope this was clear enough (English is not my native language) -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Fw-Re-libreoffice-users-PDF-Import-LibreOffice-extension-for-importing-PDF-documents-pdfimport-tp3503557p3506529.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
