11.2.3 Precedence of Execution

The precedence order for the same font in multiple places within the uifont.ali file is as follows: 1. Font aliasing takes precedence over font embedding highest. 2. Font subsetting takes over font embedding intermediate. 3. Font embedding takes no precedence lowest. For example, if you have included the same font entries for both font embedding and font subsetting, then font subsetting will override font embedding. This is assuming you have not set the command line option PDFEMBED=NO. For all font features —font aliasing, font subsetting, and font embedding—include the specific entries first followed by the generic entries. For example, if you want to subset Arial Plain, Arial Bold, Arial Italic, and Arial Bold-Italic fonts, your entries should be in the following order: [ PDF:Subset ] Arial..Italic.Bold.. = Arialbi.ttf Arial...Bold.. = Arialb.ttf Arial..Italic... = Ariali.ttf Arial..... = Arial.ttf If the plain Arial..... = Arial.ttf entry appears first, then all the styles of the Arial font in the layout will be subset as Arial Plain font. Here is a sample of a portion of the uifont.ali file for all the PDF entries containing all three PDF sections: Sample 1 [ PDF ] Palatino = Kino MT.ttf Table 11–4 Comparison of PDF Font Features PDF Type Advantages Disadvantages PDF Type Font Aliasing Multibyte support. Good display. Small file size Japanese example; 23KB for font aliasing when compared to 130KB for font subsetting. Unicode character set not supported.
