Is it possible to change the name of the font as it appears in the pdf file?
More specifically, I am using Termes font, but I want that the document properties to show the name of the font as Times. Is that possible? Is doing so a violation of the font license?
It sounds like a trademark infringement to me. I would be surprised if times is not a ®.
sadly true...
Sigh...Thanks for the clarification.
Better try to convince the customer that a rose is a rose... ;-)
I am still interested in changing the name of the font...not to Times but to some gibberish (like the characters that pdftex adds before Type1 font names). Then, I can blame the font naming on a software limitation ;)
Output an uncompressed PDF, open in a text editor, search for the font name and replace it, but you will need to fix xref after that (no idea what xref is, but pdclean from mupdf fixs it) -- Khaled Hosny Arabic localiser and member of Arabeyes.org team Free font developer
