Bugs item #592, was opened at 2006-08-08 11:08 You can respond by visiting: http://sarovar.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=493&aid=592&group_id=106 Category: Fonts Group: v1.30.0 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Michael (takrl) Assigned to: Nobody (None) 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} Fatal error occurred, the output PDF file is not finished!

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
