Summary0010125: Font is not embedded in exported pdf from SVG text
DescriptionJGhali,

I can appreciate how challenging and complex at times software development can be. In many instances I can readily see that SVG text and graphics issues are on the leading (if not bleeding) edge of technology.

However, in this instance, I feel that you have not responded to my issue and question: my concern is not the same as that reported in Issue 0009841.

I am not concerned about 'editing' the svg text and graphics.

My concern is that the font is embedded in the pdf so that when printed, the pdf has the actual font to print from.

Best wishes,
Barry McKenna

Your issue is exactly the same as 0009841. As i explained, svg importer vectorize text. As a consequence, there is no notion of the font used in the svg anymore once svg has been imported. Keeping the original font name won't help, as embedding a font in a pdf will have an effect only if text is imported as text, ie it is kept editable. So your issue is exactly 0009841.

[Bonus] In some case fonts may be embedded as 'svg fonts' in the svg itself. Even with 0009841 solved, in such case, it will not be possible to embed those svg fonts in pdf, for the simple reason that such fonts are not supported by pdf specs.
