Hello all, I have a question regarding fonts. I have a true type font that
I want to embed into the PDF so that it is rendered correctly in the pdf.
It works fine as html b/c the font is installed in the windows system. Does
birt do the embedding or am I missing some configuration parameter?
Thanks,
Joe

Finally figured out what the problem was...Somewhere along the lines birt's
converting the font name to lower case so it wasn't matching the
fop-userconfig file. Thank god that one's over ;) Thanks for your help
