Re: [Swftools-common] pdf fonts not embedded

[Jörg Birkhold]

hi,

The problem is that the pdf's are not produced by me :-(. And with the 
fonts there is always a problem regarding licensing etc.
I wonder how can the pdf then displayed correctly?
There must be some outline information embedded...I hoped that this 
could be used to produce the shapes.

Thanks Joerg
