|
|
Yes, of course. What else could've been meant? |

Oh I see what you mean now. Uploaded comparison screencasts between 'Export to PDF' dialog called from File > Export and Prefs/Doc Setup |
|
|
devs, what say you? FirasH, since this is a UI issue, would you be interested in tackling this ? |

The fonts options are intentionally removed because the font list used by a specific document: 1) is not available (prefs case: must be accesible without any doc open) 2) is not constant (document setup case) |
|
|
So this is by design. Then this is a "won't fix", right? |
|

No, it's not a "won't fix" IMHO. As to Jean' objections: 1) Prefs case: It's not about a *particular* font, but about the general options for font embedding/outlining/none of the above. 2) DocSetup case: same as 1) Since the font managing options don't apply to PDF and only PS, it would only be fair to let users determine, how fonts in exported PDFs are being handled by default, whether it be a single document or a new one. Another option would, of course, be an extension of the font manager in Prefs/DocSetup, once it's been made to work again. |

>> Since the font managing options don't apply to PDF and only PS This is just totally wrong. |

Sorry christoph, but this is a won't fix. The PDF fonts prefs could only be crippled in those dialogs. And that users would not understand either. |

Jean, until the options in the Fonts section apply equally to PS and PDF files, the request is valid, both with regards to DocSetup and Prefs. Currently (1.5.2), a user has the choice between 1) Embed or Subset 2) Outline all Fonts 3) Do not embed These should be available as a potential default setting in both DocSetup and Prefs. It doesn't mean that the options should be removed from the PDF export dialogue, but it makes sense to be able to set a default behaviour, depending on the respective standard workflow, e.g., outlining all fonts. It would also make sense to let users override the font management settings, which are, in a quite intransparent way connected to the PDF font export settings, e.g., "Ignore font file size limitations as determined by the Font settings". |
