Bug ID: 510441
Summary: WISH: Allow limiting PDF comments to the standard
fonts Helvetica, Courier, Times Roman
Classification: Applications
Product: okular
Version First 23.08.5
Reported In:
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: PDF backend
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
The PDF standard requires that all viewers render the fonts Helvetica, Times
Roman and Courier --- and their italic, bold, and bold italic variants ---
without them being embedded.
Given that fonts used in comments are embedded (not as subset fonts, but the
whole font), significantly increasing the file size of the PDF, the ability to
restrict comments to the standard fonts would be very useful.
Note that this is currently not even possible to do manually, unless you
actually have a license for these fonts; While metric-compatible fonts can be
used, they will also be embedded when saving the comments.
