------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sun Apr 6 22:10:03 +0000 2008 ------- There are two related issues. (1) It should be possible for a user to control embedding of the basic 14 fonts (or metrically equivalent fonts) when exporting to PDF. The basic fonts are those that every PDF viewer has reasonable substitutes for and so need not be embedded in the PDF document to minimize the size of the PDF file. But sometimes one wants all fonts embedded for accuracy; hence this must be a user-controllable option. (2) OO.org currently does *not* embed the basic 14 fonts but *does* embed metrically-equivalent fonts. This is silly. For example, Helvetica is not embedded but Arial is, and Times is not embedded but Times New Roman is. Possibly this should be configurable but that isn't really necessary. The PDF export code should know about metrically equivalent fonts and use the user-control suggested to address issue (1) to decide whether to embed or not embed. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
