Hello,
I have the XEP 3.6.3 client and am trying to follow the steps to
configure support for some additional Adobe OpenType fonts I have. The
fonts are part of the "Adobe Type Basics OpenType Ed." collection.
Following the instructions in the manual I added some additional lines
to the fonts.xml file. Here is an example of the additional font lines
I have added:
<font name="AGaramondPro-Regular"
ttf="C:/PSFONTS/AGaramondPro-Regular.otf"
adobe-encoding="UniCNS-UCS2-H"
adobe-ordering="CNS1"
adobe-supplement="1"
embed="true">
<alias name="AGaramondPro"/>
</font>
When I convert a .fo file to .pdf the conversion seems to be working and
I get a pdf that mentions the new font. However, I also get an error
message(or warning, not sure which) from XEP stating that the font
cannot be embedded. When I look at the document properties in Acrobat
it shows that the fonts have been substituted with some other font
instead of the one I am expecting.
I do not understand why XEP cannot embed the font properly. Just to
make sure the font can be embedded I created a small FrameMaker document
that uses the font and then generated a PDF file from it using Acrobat
Professional. When I did this it successfully embedded the font in the
PDF without any warning.
One area where I'm a bit confused is with the three adobe- attributes in
the <font> element. How can I determine what these should be set to for
my fonts? Also, what is the list of possible values for these
attributes?
Many thanks.
