Hi guys,
I’m looking for some enlightenment regarding font handling in PlanetPress.
When using an embedded font in the Designer, the resulting PDF seems to display a random, base64-like string as the font name. However, if the font is installed on the operating system, the actual font name appears correctly in the PDF.
My question is: why does embedding the font via the Designer result in a random-looking name, rather than showing the proper font name in the output PDF?
The reason I’m asking is that some of our clients require us to use specific fonts in their artwork, particularly when adding dynamic or variable text to their documents. But when we embed the font through the Designer’s fonts folder, the output doesn’t show the correct font name — just that base64-like identifier. Sometimes we get question like what font name is that? And we try to come up with some technical jargon to to deter the client from asking further questions, etc..
Thank you very much in advance.
Cheers,
James.
