[Scribus] Question "Hors Sujet": extraire Fonts d'un pdf - pdf aus pdf-file sichern - extract font-file from pdf

[mamem at gmx.net]

Bonjour Jon,

Thanks for your answer.
I see the legal point, no problem for that, I was wondering if it's
technical possible. I only use free fonts for my works anyway...

Google just is fine in France, I didn't find the right words to look
for, that's all... :-) (I looked for pdf font extract and had no good
findings).
So many thanks for the answer!

Martin

j> Hi Martin -

j> The legal part of font extraction.
j> Most font licenses doesn't allow extraction from pd files.
j> PD or free fonts may be extracted, but I can't see the point, because 
j> they are freely available.

j> The technical part.
j> A lot of font licences (and most of newer licences) doesn't allow full
j> embedding, only subsetting.
j> In this case trying to extract the font will fail, because only used 
j> characters are embedded.
j> All I know is that kerning and hinting information will always be lost,
j> though I may be wrong.

j> If your need is to extract only one or a few graphics from a font file
j> embedded in a pdf
j> you could always use a pdf editor to open and copy the paths.


j> Knowing this you might find further information here (covering 
j> extraction of ps1 fonts):

j> Wasn't so hard to find with google {pdf font file extraction} or does 
j> google france block this?
j> Would be an interesting fact 'bout google policies.

j> Just keep in mind that font extraction might in most cases be 
j> not-so-very-legal - depends
j> very much on the laws of your local lobbyists.
