PoDoFo doesn’t support subsetting a font (that’s the term for partial
embedding). Please feel free to contribute.

Subject: Re: [Podofo-users] DrawText & Unicode
First of all, thanks for the swift response :).
I applied the identity encoding, which does not resolve my issue, but it still
improved the output ("unknown character" symbols are now written, before there
was nothing).
The font seems not to be installed on my system (which is strange, since I read
that it is included in MS Office, which I have installed). I checked my
installed fonts and found and tried "Lucida Sans Unicode", but to no avail. I
downloaded fonts for all languages and took one with assumed support for my
unicode characters, that one worked.
Unfortunately, this fonts take up much space and get embedded into the result
pdf, increasing the size by up to 10MB. Thats quite a large payload for just a
few characters of a disclaimer text :-/.Is there any way to improve this
behaviour (somehow "partially" embed a font)?
Greetings

Hi
Which OS are you using?(assuming the latest podfo is being used)
Do you have "Arial MS Unicode" installed in your system?
If “Arial MS Unicode” is not installed please use some other font, which
supports all Unicode characters. Also please set the encoding to identity
encoding.
Regards

Subject: [Podofo-users] DrawText & Unicode
Hello Podofo Users,
I'm want to add a small text disclaimer to the first page of a document:
// Set page disclaimer
PdfPainter pdfPainter;
PdfFont* pFont = m_pDocument->CreateFont("Arial");
PdfPage* pPage = m_pDocument->GetPage(0);
pdfPainter.SetPage( pPage );
pdfPainter.Save();
pdfPainter.SetFont( pFont );
pdfPainter.GetFont()->SetFontSize( PAGE_DISLAIMER_SIZE );
pdfPainter.SetColor( 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 ); // black
PdfRect rect = pPage->GetMediaBox();
PoDoFo::PdfString disclaimer_inutf8(reinterpret_cast<const
PoDoFo::pdf_utf8*>(disclaimer.c_str()));
pdfPainter.DrawText( rect.GetLeft(), rect.GetBottom() + rect.GetHeight() -
PAGE_DISLAIMER_SIZE, disclaimer_inutf8 );
pdfPainter.Restore();
pdfPainter.FinishPage();
The code works for normal text, but it fails to draw unicode characters.
I consulted the corresponding test code and saw that there's a unicode font
used:
PdfFont* pFont = m_pDocument->CreateFont("Arial MS Unicode");
Unfortunately, I get a NULL pointer from this call. Is there anything I can do
except downloading a font,
because this is not an option, the code should work without installing
additional things.
Thanks in advance
F.E.
