I have discovered that the problem is apparently in OOo. Scribus, for example, is happy to embed the fonts in a PDF. The Bitstream Vera family apparently came with the Gnome desktop, at least reading the license leads to this conclusion. There is no prohibition on embedding, or just about anything else for that matter. It is a very open license. As a workaround I changed the entire document to DejaVu. It took an hour because you can't change a font globally. And I have a couple of tables of five columns and 15 rows. You can't even change a font for an entire table - you have to select the text in each cell individually and apply the new font. It could be that the problem with OOo 3.1.1 is due to a setting somewhere in OOo. However, I couldn't find any place in Preferences or Options to change font behavior. If there is a place to change the embedding of a font, someone please tell me where it is. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
