Hi Roland, >I am currently considering to write a SVGPrint driver for our >Mozilla/Eclipse/OpenOffice... after reading quickly throught the >documentation I did not find a description how font download (e.g. fonts >embedded within the print job) can be implemented (this is a critical >issue for CJKV (e.g. Asian) languages where it isn't likely that the >printer has all fonts the document uses) - was that issue defined >somewhere yet or is that a ToDo item for the future ? SVG itself has SVG fonts as a native type of font. If you were embedding glyphs for a CJKV document, you can do it via the use of SVG fonts. If you mean downloading OpenType or similar fonts, this is a vendor specific issue. I expect that individual vendors would mandate how that is done - most probably via some form of job bundling using JDF or similar. Hope that helps. Alex
