In the [Fonts] pane, configure the font embedding settings for input data when embedding fonts in a PDF, and settings related to the font substitution process in the rendering process.
There are fonts with character outline information and fonts with font name and character width information but no outline information. In the explanation of this function, the former are referred to as real fonts, and the latter as dummy fonts.
Dummy fonts are only available for PostScript fonts.
Unless specifically stated otherwise, fonts used in the explanation of this function refers to real fonts.
2 methods are available for embedding fonts: fullset embedding that embeds the outline information of all characters of the specified fonts and subset embedding that embeds only the outline information for the characters used in corresponding document. When the font embedding method is set to the subset embedding, the data size becomes smaller and the data processing speed increases compared with the fullset embedding.
When characters of a file with the subset embedded fonts are edited in Acrobat, characters cannot be changed to characters that have no embedded character information. Since double-byte fonts such as Japanese fonts are ordinarily embedded as subsets, editing characters in Acrobat causes problems.

1 |
Font Embedding Options |
Select options related to embedding fonts. |
2 |
Embed Fonts in the Output |
If this checkbox is checked, any font targets for embedding that are stored by XMF or managed by the OS are embedded in the PDF. Note
|
3 |
Subset Embedded Fonts |
When the input data is in PS or EPS format
If this checkbox is checked, the fonts are embedded as subsets during PS conversion. If this checkbox is cleared, the fonts are embedded as fullsets during PS conversion. When the input data is in PDF format
If this checkbox is checked, fonts that are not embedded in the input data are embedded as subsets. If fonts are already embedded in the input data as fullsets or subsets, they are not newly embedded. If this checkbox is cleared, single-byte fonts that are embedded as subsets in the input data are embedded as fullsets. Single-byte fonts that are embedded as fullsets in the input data will continue to be processed as embedded fullsets. Double-byte fonts that are embedded as subsets in the input data will continue to be processed as embedded subsets. |

Fail Font Embedding if Named Font Cannot be Found |
When the input data is in PS or EPS format
If this checkbox is checked, the font embedding process ends with an error when a corresponding font is not available among the fonts managed by XMF. If this checkbox is cleared, the font is processed in accordance with 1 and 2 depending on whether a dummy font is available.
The target font is substituted with the Western font Courier. Note The PDF is generated using the dummy font. Note Note
When the input data is a PDF file
If this checkbox is checked, the font embedding process ends with an error only when the real font of a corresponding font is not available among the fonts managed by XMF. If this checkbox is cleared, the process is continued without embedding the font even when the real font of a corresponding font is not available among the fonts managed by XMF. |

PS Conversion Font Embedding |
Configure the setting related to embedding subsets when performing PS conversion. |
6 |
Only Subset Embedded Fonts when Percent of Characters Used is Less Than |
Set the threshold value for determining whether to embed fonts as fullsets or subsets during PS conversion. If you enter a numerical value from 1 to 100 for the percentage (%) of the number of characters used in the input data in relation to the total number of characters of a target font, the target font is embedded as a subset when the percentage of the number of characters used in the input data is less than this threshold value (%).

Fonts Policy |
Configure the setting for using font substitution. |
8 |
Use Font Emulation |
If this checkbox is cleared, fonts that are not embedded in the PDF are substituted with substitute fonts in the rendering process. Note
