Hi everyone,
I’m currently struggling with a PDF embedded issue.
When I convert my Writer form into PDF it looks like the “DejaVu Sans” font I’m using in some form areas (text input, drop down lists,…) is not recognized as part of the embedded fonts setup of the document.
Evidence with Pdffonts output:
name type encoding emb sub uni object ID
------------------------------------ ----------------- ---------------- --- --- --- ---------
BAAAAA+DejaVuSans-Bold TrueType WinAnsi yes yes yes 395 0
CAAAAA+DejaVuSans TrueType WinAnsi yes yes yes 405 0
DAAAAA+LiberationSans TrueType WinAnsi yes yes yes 410 0
DejaVuSans TrueType WinAnsi no no no 412 0
FAAAAA+OpenSymbol TrueType WinAnsi yes yes yes 400 0
As you can see, I have font “CAAAAA+DejaVuSans” embedded, but another font is reported : “DejaVuSans”.
And, indeed, I’m using DejaVuSans font for normal text within the page (it works fine), but when I’m using it in form areas, the font is missing on non-Linux computers (only “small dots” are displayed by the PDF reader tool).
Any suggestion to force Writer to tag this font the same way, whether it is part of the “normal” page, or part of a form attribute ?
(if my analysis is right, it looks like a bug, isn’t it ?)
Thanks
