Hi,

I want to create a label template with inkscape which gets printed on a product. The printer can handle pdf documents. The label shall contain text placeholders like "#Text". That means that I can give the placeholder a certain position and a font in inkscape. Before the label gets printed on the product the placeholder will be replaced by a product id. To achieve this I'm using iText .net library to manipulate the pdf template.

Now I'm encountering a problem with the font. When I save the file as pdf it subsets the font to the pdf file which means that only the characters are available which are currently used. The consequence is that when I replace the placeholder with other characters those characters cannot be displayed by a pdf viewer (or printer).
As example the placeholder shall be "#Text". When I replace the text by "#TexB" the "B" cannot get displayed.
One solution could be the complete embedding of the font into the document.
But I could not find a setting for this.
Any ideas?

Do I understand correctly, that you selected the option 'Embed fonts' when you saved as pdf from Inkscape, but it didn't embed the full font, but only the subset?

(another, silly option, if that's the case: Type out all characters that you might possibly need, and hide them somewhere in the drawing)
