Summary: TrueType Font can't be embedded
Initial Comment:
I tried to embed a TTF in my PDF document (have done so
before 100s of times, so I know the general proceedings).
However, this is a new MS font (constantia), and
pdf(e)tex doesn't seem to support it.
Excerpt of the log file:
This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.141592-1.30.6-2.2 (MiKTeX 2.5)
entering extended mode
<snip>
[1{psfonts.map}] (ttftest.aux) )
(see the transcript file for additional
information){T1-WGL4.enc}
From what I saw so far on the net (for example, at http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/opentype/index_os2.html ) this is the newest version of the font specification, and pdf(e)tex does only seem to support fonts using OS/2-table-versions lower than 3.

From an email from Eddie Kohler:
================================================= (2) Otftotfm generates map lines that tell pdftex to embed the TTF directly (cool!). Unfortunately, pdftex does not like the Version 3.0 OS/2 table included in OpenType TTFs (boo!), so I hacked the font to change the OS/2 version number to 2.0. Alternately, one could recompile pdftex, after changing line 1026 of writettf.c to: if (version != 0x0000 && version != 0x0001 && version != 0x0002 && version != 0x0003) ================================================= Martin, can you please include this patch into the next release? Thanks. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: http://sarovar.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=493&aid=592&group_id=106
