Re: Base font and russian
Backporting the changes is certainly doable, but don't underestimate the effort. I'd guess it's more than just "a few hours". The PDF library has dependencies on the font subsystem which has, like the PDF library, changed quite a bit. If you need a quick solution, you're better off post-processing.

Re: Base font and russian
Chris is right. The base14 fonts (Helvetica, Times and Courier, not Symbol and ZapfDingbats) are defined in ISO-Latin1 format (if I remember correctly). You won't get around using an embedded Unicode-TrueType font. On 12.10.2004 12:03:24 Chris Bowditch wrote: > > I don't want to use special font and embed it in the pdf.

If not, which font does fop is using ? Depends on what you specified in font-family property? Default is Helvetica. Definition of this is the Adobe Helvetica. If yes why the fop servlet doesn't found the cyrillic char and display "" ? This means the font you are using via font-family doesnt have a glyph for the requested code point. I don't want to use special font and embed it in the pdf. Base font should be enough. Russian pdf created with Acrobat are well displayed on the client computer, so I should be able to use standard font with fop. I dont think any of the 14 base Adobe fonts have glyphs for all the languages you need. I think for russian you will need to specify a different font to the other languages and embed it into the PDF.
