Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 40065
PDF-Export of the attached files doesn't work
Last modified: 2005-02-07 13:39:11 UTC
A PDF-Export of the attached fonts doesn't work. It results in a PDF without embedded fonts and with a font defination not reflekting the names of the originaly used fonts. sxw and pdf are attached also. Quality "prepress" was used for PDF-Exporting. The error is reproducable on 1.1.1/Windows and and 1.1.3/Linux and 1.1.1/SuSE-Bild/Linux, so i think he's platform independent.

->hdu: Please, have a look.
There are three problems/missing features to allow OOo to work with these fonts: 1. On Win32 platforms there is issue 10218 which prevents OOo from getting access to the font file contents 2. On Unix platforms OOo currently only supports type1 font files with an *.afm or *.pfa extension 3. The PDF export does not yet support embedding of *.pfb files. HDU->PL: Are there already have feature tasks for the items 2. and 3. in the list above?
Oops, of course OOo already handles *.pfb files, but *.pfm files are not yet supported... HDU->Timi: for unix platforms you can workaround the missing feature by also providing *.afm files for each *.pfb file.
pl->hdu: Since we don't support pfm and probably won't either that leaves open the using of type manager on Windows as you planned.
Darn, why do I get this issue back? This would be the perfect issue to track whether or not and for which target to support *.pfm files. For the ATM integration I already have issue 10218... Since the other two aspects of the problem have been rejected by the responsible developer and I already have an issue for the ATM integration the most appropriate status is duplicate... *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 10218 ***
Closing duplicate.
