Re: AW: [xep-support] Fonts encoding

Hi Ronald,

The support of TrueType fonts in FOP is very limited.
That's why WinAnsi character encoding is a good alternative in cases
when text contains Latin-1 symbols only.

As I said in my previous post, XEP has no option to set character
encoding of PDF font objects (PDF fonts).

You can achieve the result you want (i.e. obtain the WinAnsi encoding)
by setting 'embed'=false on the corresponding font entry of a TrueType
font.
In such a case XEP doesn't embed the font file into PDF and sets the
encoding to WinAnsi.
Please note that PDF Reference strongly recommend to embed all
TrueType fonts into PDF and I discourage you from using this method as
a long-time work around.

Best regards,
