    Gustaf,

    I would like to see the outlines that produce this effect. Could you
    please send us off-list PFA/PFBs for Helvetica and ZapfDingbats
    that you used?

    How could we do it? We don't have a license to redistribute the
    fonts themselves; only font metrics are public.

    It's hard to say without trying your actual fonts.

    Subject: [xep-support] Embedding Adobe standard fonts

    Version 3.7.1

    Got a message from my printer, telling me to embed Helvetica and
    ZapfDingbats. When I type embed="true" and subset="false" for these in the
    fonts.xml file, I get a NullPointerException at the end of the formatting
    process and the fonts are *not* embedded.

    Is this fixed in 3.7.2?

    I also got an error message about the missing Helvetica font when I opened
    the file in Adobe Reader 6.0, so it seems these standard fonts are not so
    standard anymore. Maybe better to embed them all the time?

    Hope for a quick reply, since I'm expected to deliver a new file.
    Otherwise, is there a previous version where this works?

    Gustaf
