Using jarnal, which uses iText for PDF creation, I have the problem that
my custom font is not embedded.

Fonts are used with the following code:

mapper = new com.lowagie.text.pdf.DefaultFontMapper();
com.lowagie.text.FontFactory.registerDirectories();
if(Jtool.checkMSWindows()){
  mapper.insertDirectory("c:/windows/fonts");
  mapper.insertDirectory("c:/winnt/fonts");
}else {
  mapper.insertDirectory("/usr/share/fonts");
  mapper.insertDirectory("/usr/share/fonts/local");
}
cb = writer.getDirectContent();
tp = cb.createTemplate(w, h);
g2 = tp.createGraphics(w, h, mapper);

My custom font is installed in one of the directories which are queried
by com.lowagie.text.FontFactory.registerDirectories().
The application does use the font for display, does also produce correct
Postscript, but does not embed the font in PDF.


My Quesion is now: It seems that using the default FontMapper, all ttf
fonts are NOT_EMBEDDED. Ist this correct?

My opinion is that only the standardized PDF fonts should not be
embedded, all others should be embedded by default. Can I change the
above code to change the behaviour in this direction, or are changes to
iText required?

Best regards, Jörg Weimar.
