You can easily include the fonts for which you have rights in your web page. You can even embed/encode them inside a CSS file. The technical ability to embed fonts in Open Office documents is essential for any serious document standard going forward. PDF has it, DOCX has it, even the open web now has it. Without action, obsolescence threatens the ORACLE investment in the OpenOffice brand. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

To comment on the following update, log in, then open the issue: http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=20370 --- Additional comments from l...@openoffice.org Fri Feb 12 18:45:08 + 2010 --- Most often the fonts I want to create documents with are those which are explicitly distributable, but unfortunately have not acheived the distribution one might hope. There is much confusion about whether fonts can be held to a copyright anyway. It is the font PROGRAM, FILE, or CODE that is licensed. According to copyright law,Familiar symbols or designs; mere variations of typographic ornamentation, lettering, or coloring... are NOT eligible for copyright protection. http://www.copyright.gov/; click on “Copyright Basics” for more information. I find it remarkably silly that people have been so overly cautious about allowing the use of fonts. The intention of copyright law was never to disallow anyone from creating THEIR OWN ORIGINAL works in the style which they choose. A document is not a derivitive work of a font. The document displays the lettering which cannot be copyrighted. The problem is that when a font is embedded, the resulting file IS a derivitive of the font (program, code). Part of the copyrighted code is included with the document. If this code was protected so that it cannot be extracted or used on a computer that does not have the font installed, then the document cannot be edited on that computer, or effectively archived. Perhaps there is a way to create an approved font list for fonts that are known and documented to be distributable, and allow fonts on that list to be embedded. There are some really great open fonts available these days. There would be little need to use the fonts with restrictive licenses if we could just share the non-restricted ones freely. The licenses can be found. I'm suggesting the possibility that people could sumbit fonts they want on that list with the name, filename, and links to verifiable license documentation. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

This is really important. The legality of it all is up to me. For long term documents this is a must. Please find a way to to implement this. Of course it shouldn't be the default behavior, but a way to explicitly embed certain fonts used in a document is a really important feature. A warning could be shown about the implications of font embedding.

AFAIK user can embed: - nothing - all - all without system fonts - all used symbols - all used symbols without system fonts. I suggest other variant as main for OpenOffice: - all used Unicode blocks. You can see what is Unicode block with gucharmap program under GNU/Linux for example (you will need select View-By Unicode Block in menu). If we will embed all symbols then document size can be too big. If we will embed just used symbols then we will have problems with editing document in future. For example, some rare symbol from national alphabet or mathematical symbols that needed for editing can be lost. Embedding Unicode blocks is compromise between document size and symbols that will be available in the future. Please imagine that we write some mathematical document on Russian language. It will contain all symbols from Russian alphabet, some latin symbols, some greek symbols, some punctuation symbols and some math symbols. Unicode blocks for embedding can be follows: - Basic Latin - Latin-1 Supplement - Greek and Coptic - Cyrillic - General Punctuation - Arrows - Mathematical Operators - Supplemental Mathematical Operators Document size will not be very big. If we will edit this document in the future then it is high possibility that all symbols that we will need are already embedded in document. For example, we will able to change ≠ to ≢ even if ≢ was not used in original document. And we will able use γ even if original document used only α and β. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

Most fonts are licensed from their original publishers, who may place additional restrictions on their use and distribution. For information about licensing arrangements for a given font, contact the original publisher. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms533034.aspx So, why then not consider going ahead with this very important feature with that approach? Why not just have a some sort of pop-up that warns the end user to be certain they are in compliance with the font licensing? This really is a much needed feature.

I work for a small company which gives courses in unix related subjects and we make our own course materials. These materials take a lot of work to make and they are long term documents, meaning they have to survive software updates and be portable to other systems (e.g. Solaris, Linux, BSD based unix systems). Portabilty would mean that the rendering of the page (in our case .odg files) must be the same, regardless of which OS is providing the fonts (we currently have an issue with Linux based X-Servers used by openoffice (2.0) clients running on solaris, don't know yet if an update to 3.0 will fix this). If a document carries its fonts embedded in the document, that factor is at least out of the way and will make the document be more self-sufficient across platforms and time. There may be other solutions to this problem that I'm not (yet) aware of, but embedding the fonts would seem like an essential feature for portability of documents. As for the legal issues, I would place them firmly at the user's side. The user alone is responsible for the legality of embedding the fonts, the software may, of course, assist the user to determine the legality. /Simon - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

I discover :-) that TTF font files can carry full license text (by non-standart way) and this is no necessarily to ask TTF format developers to add license fields into TTF specification. This is about Bitstream Vera Fonts (http://www.gnome.org/fonts/): Note that the Vera copyright is incorporated in the fonts themselves. The License field in the fonts contains the copyright license as it appears below. The TrueType copyright field is not large enough to contain the full license, so the license is incorporated (as you might think if you thought about it) into the license field, which unfortunately can be obscure to find. (In pfaedit, see: Element-Font Info-TTFNames-License). The technical details can be found here: http://developer.apple.com/textfonts/TTRefMan/RM06/Chap6name.html (table 42 Name Identifiers, NameID codes 0, 13 and 14). We can see that fonts developers use License field for license text but this field should be written in plain language, not legalese according to specification because of Copiright notice field is too small. Future OpenOffice should know this trick. I surmise that TTF can have other formats. The situation with Type 1 fonts is not so good and far more compex. I found 3 file types related to Type 1 on my system: .afm, .pfa and .pfb. This was found in X11 font directory. It is possible that some other formats exists in CUPS, ghostscript and xpdf directories. The specification for .afm is here: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/font/pdfs/5004.AFM_Spec.pdf It discribes only optional Notice field (on page 26) that can contain Font name trademark or copyright notice. I view real .afm files on my machine and see short copyright info in Comment and Notice fields. I am not sure that specification for .pfa is this: http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/font/T1_SPEC.PDF This specification mentions Notice field but not describes it (at least I did not found description). In real .pfa files I see short copyright info in comment (starting from %%) and in Notice field. I did not found specification for .pfb format at this time. The CCF format for Type 1 also exists, specification is: http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/font/5176.CFF.pdf It contains Notice and Copyright fields. Earlier versions of this document contained section 18 Copyright and Trademark Notices but it was removed according changelog. I did not found description of this fields in modern version of document. The .pfm files also exists in nature. The document (not specification AFAIK) describing this format is here: http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/font/5178.PFM.pdf It describes dfCopyright field in table 1 Header. This field is 60 byte string, null padded so it can not contain full license text but can contain license name (for example, GPL + font exception). I surmise that Type 1 fonts can have yet more formats.

Just check this OOo issue tracker for PDF fonts or similar query string and you'll find people who want an option in order to *not* embed fonts into their PDF documents or to change what is embedded. The arguments in favor or against it are the same ones we are discussing here. However, in OOo PDF there is also a *huge* problem with font substitution: you believe to have included a specific font while OOo, really, has embedded Times New Roman instead of Times, Arial instead of Helvetica or, even, fonts that were used with a text style that is no longer utilized in the main content or that belong to the same font family of a font that has not the embedding bit set. Everything without warning from OOo, at least for the time being: http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=72910 Sometimes, you discovers these glitches because the PDF size is strange or grows out of control. Sometimes, you don't realize what is happening and simply go ahead with your work. Maybe, breaching the font license. Then, about font files that directly include license text: that is the right approach. Nevertheless, there should be a technical mean that shows those terms and clauses to the application end user in a human readable way. For example, GPL license text says: An interactive user interface displays “Appropriate Legal Notices” to the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2) tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License. If the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion. I know this legal stuff for fonts is extremely annoying and most people doesn't care at all about it until a lawyer - or worse, an public attorney in those countries in which software piracy is a criminal law affair - contacts them. Finally, it would be interesting to know *how* a font could be embedded by respecting OpenDocument 1.2 specification. I'm not a developer and I'm just curious. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

Users pay different legal attention to these elements. Technically, it's well explained in the OpenDocument specifications and it's also a logical valid argument, in this case. Then, there are also documents, i.e. trade logos or artistic drawings, in which the *visual representation* of a font - not the font itself - may be part of the content. In those cases, the legal concerns are completely different and less important for the average users, since they should have or have had a professional legal support that explains what can or cannot do with their logo's representation. I have no power to block or unblock this issue, but i'd prefer not to add another element for which I have to check the license, especially if that addition is automatically done by a software application and it may be not clearly evident for the embedder or other users of a document(read: me) - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

For example, user of liberation fonts v1.0-1 must be located out of Cuba. Hyperbolic variant: is the font that can be used legally only at Moon free or not free? Other interesting thing is from dejavu fonts v2.24: The above copyright and trademark notices and this permission notice shall be included in all copies of one or more of the Font Software typefaces. Does it mean that text of license of this fonts must be included in document that has this fonts in embedded form? The next thing. Many of people here say about legal nightmare that we will have if embedding fonts in OpenOffice documents will be implemented. But now OpenOffice can export documents to PDF. I do not know technical details, but it looks like resulting PDFs have embedded fonts. And AFAIK editing of PDFs feature will be implemented in future. Please note that OpenOffice does not show any warnings about legal problems when create PDFs. By the way. This is question to all people here who want OpenOffice without fonts embedding but want to use free software and free fonts. How do you send you documents to Windows users? I have a problem with this now. When I give an odt document to my colleagues - Windows users for editing, I give them also a distributive of OpenOffice + archive with fonts on USB flash drive + instructions how to install this fonts into Windows. The solution of this problem is using only liberation fonts family. This fonts has same metric that main Windows fonts and documents can be opened properly on Windows even if liberation fonts is not installed. But liberation family have no font with times-like view (Liberation Serif have same metric that Times New Roman), so limitation to use only this font family is very restrictive. The other problem I have is broken font that have different metric in different formats. Document that using this font in Type-1 format on GNU/Linux can not be transfered to Windows where this font is in TrueType format because an interval between text lines is different :-( To luctur: However, even if fonts have the Editable or Installable bit set we still don't know nothing about its license. What about a new font format with embedded license? Or about petitions to current font formats authors with ask to add obligatory license text to font files in this formats? - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

Supp. 2d 1030 (N.D. Ill. 2005)]. They sued each other several times on very similar topics. This sentence is really more liberal and it may permit OOo to implement a font embedding feature even in the U.S. However, it has not prevented other corporations to start claims about the very same question. For example, Storage Technology Corp. v. Custom Hardware Engineering Consulting, Ltd [No. 02-12102-RWZ, 2006 WL 1766434 (D. Mass. June 28, 2006)] and others. This is the risk I was talking about: unneeded trials in a controversial law field. Then, there are other legal concerns related to users' work. For example, a font that has the Allow embedding bit set says nothing about its license. Example: Armadillo spoke about GPLed fonts. Let's say that such a font has the quoted above bit set and OOo embeds it into a document. If the font license doesn't includes the GPL font exception http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#FontException http://www.fsf.org/blogs/licensing/20050425novalis (explanation of the exception aka ratio) *each* work derivated from that document and is content would become GPLed. So: you should know if a font has been embedded into a document, what license rules it and if the embedder applied that license in the right way! And what about if you duplicate the document and then release your own copy under Creative Commons or a proprietary copyright since *in the content* is written that you can apply such licenses? Is it a legal nightmare, isn't it? Same considerations can be done for proprietary fonts EULA and your own documents. Sincerely, embedding fonts is a *risky* activity, legally speaking. You should have a windows that pops up every time someone opens a document and warns A font has been embedded under license XYZ... And trials about fonts embedding are not so uncommon. And even if you win them, they have a *cost*, in time and money. Recently, even in my country, Italy, Business Software Association started a campaign against font piracy. Implementing this feature would make me wonder if I'm a pirate just because someone, somewhere, has embedded a font in a document that I have to edit. IMO, there would be too much troubles. Making this feature an option for those professionals who really need it? I may agree on this, but it should be a very detailed and legal-bullet-proof one for the rest of the user world. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

Here: http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/render_download.php?site_id=nrsiformat=filemedia_id=UNESCO_Font_Lic_PDFfilename=UNESCO_Font_Lic_PDF.pdf you can find a Font copyright for dummies document made by an independent organization like UNESCO that explains in few words how difficult would be, legally speaking, to manage documents with proprietary fonts embedded. There would be issues not only for the original creator of the document, but for the authors of *derivative* works too, if they won't know which font is embedded under which license. In the professional world of press, publishing, journalism and in any case in which a document will have derivative elaborations, such a feature may cause unknown liabilities for breaching of font licensing terms both for the original author and other people/organization who will manage a specific document. And, IMVHO, a warning window for the original author that embeds fonts isn't enough to avoid problems for other people who use the document for other (large scale, on line, administrative, commercial) purposes. Any analysis about the implementation of this feature should include more cons than pros. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

You must reopen issue! take in mind legality or non-legality does not apply to OpenOffice, but only to end user. you know that some people sold by micro$oft can post interested comments in order to stop OpenOffice progress. so, font embedding is very important for effective interoperability, otherwise people still using Word. Do you want this? people still using micro$oft Word instead of OpenOffice? it is not legality issue. micro$oft word embed usually fonts, so embedding is fully legal, why, then, people using OpenOffice must have lesser features? a kind of masochism? - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

Though it would not make it as easy to use as Microsoft Word, it might just promote people to use the free fonts. Personally I can live with a limited selection of fonts, but it is a really pain that I cannot be guaranteed that my document looks the same when I move it to a system, that does not have the fonts. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

Today an enduser can embedd other copyrighted objects like pictures, sound and copied text extracts. In these cases there is the endusers obligation to be observant and make the right steps to follow his local copyright laws. I can't see any differens or other problems embedding fonts with several types of enduser licens agreements than embedding other copyrighted objects. It's not realistic that it is the software, Openoffice, that makes those decisions for the enduser. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

It's exactly the same situation: Adobe had and has applications that embed fonts. They didn't win that trial because effective embedder is end user, but because they (Adobe) had payed for rights to produce applications that embeds fonts. In this issue has already been suggested to get a license from AGFA for a specific technology in order to get a better MS Office compatibility. If that solution is a viable one, it may resolve all problems. Otherwise, if technically possible according to OpenDocument specifications, it would be good to enforce a *strict* respect for embedding bits included into fonts files. However, even if fonts have the Editable or Installable bit set, we still don't know nothing about its license. I have personally read Cease and Desist letters addressed to software developers and written for claims based on Section 1201(a) of the 1998 Digital Millennium Copyright Act because their software *may* be used to embed fonts that had the No Embedding Allowed bit set. And those developers used their software for *free* fonts embedding. I don't say a Cease and Desist letter is like a law or a sentence. Nevertheless, at least, it's surely a good chance to be called before a court to resolve the question. Does OOo *really* need this sort of risk? - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

I have searched for it without finding it. I have a feeling it does not apply to any of the countries that does not have DMCA. From what you write, I still see it would cause no problems if OOo only allows embedding of a specified list of fonts that are free for this purpose - even in countries with DMCA. Thereby it may not be used for other fonts. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

I have contacted the kind people at EFF (Electronic Frontier Foundation) ( http://www.eff.org ), who do have lawyers on hand specifically to address these kinds of issues. I don't know if they have any better suggestions, but if the only reason for not implementing this CRITICAL feature is because of fear of legal ramifications, then it seems consulting lawyers who specialize in electronic intellectual property laws/rights, would be the best source to consult before completely giving up on some variant of an embedded fonts capability (such as the aforementioned partial functionality of somehow only allowing open fonts to be embedded). Please reconsider opening this feature for now, for consideration. I don't know if the EFF folks will take this on, or even be able to suggest any more than you have from the Chilling Effect of the Adobe vs. ITC and other cases. But it is certainly worth investigating before completely giving up on so critical a feature. This lacking component is a show-stopper feature for our magazine at the very least. And I can only imagine how many others are stuck, unable to fully utilize OO for similar reasons, and forced to either use MS/Adobe commercial products, or completely stuck because there is no alternative on their operating system (many of us use only Linux, BSD, Solaris, etc.), and have no alternative, and are being seriously impacted in trying to collaborate in the final stages of the zine. Thank you all for you great work and efforts, and please do not give up on this feature just yet. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

Sorry for my bad English :) 2. IMHO fonts embedding should be a main task for next major release of OpenOffice. Or one of main tasks :) 3. Because of problem is very complex and difficult but also is very important - i think a half-solution can be implemented for the first time. We can have an option attach font files to the document. It will copy all used font files into document archive subdirectory, but will not use this files. This option can prevent a big part of archives restoring nightmare. Also, users in future always will know: if they do not have some font for document - they can open the document as usual ZIP archive and get needed fonts. Not all fonts can be installed in all OSes, but IMHO this be better that nothing. Also, this can soften licensions problems: we can say distribute fonts in document, but not fully compile fonts with document. Or we can't - i am not an jurist :-) - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
