OpenType and PDF Export

Postby wriedmann » Sun Feb 06, 2011 10:35 pm

Hello,

is there any way to embed OpenType fonts in a PDF document using VPE (6.0)?

TIA

OpenType Fonts (OTF) is a superset of True-Type. OTF may contain either PostScript or True-Type font data. In the latter case it is possible to use OTF for creating PDF documents. It should also be possible to embedd True-Type OTFs in PDF documents using VPE. But since OTF contain some additional tables with font information, this may not work for every font.

Hello,

Thank you for your answer.

I'm having problems with a OpenType font at a clients site - but I suspect that the used OpenType fond is a PS font, and can therefore not embedded by VPE.

Is anything like PS font embedding planned for a later release?

Thank you very much!

We have currently no plans to support PostScript fonts.
