[xep-support] Korean XML to PDF

[Alexander Peshkov]

Hello Keith,

XEP is a platform-independent application and the fonts support works
equal on PC and Mac. Current version of XEP can use OpentType fonts as
non-embedded and TrueType fonts should be used as embedded. Note that
font embedding protects you from the problems that can arise when you
distribute your PDFs (e.g. if you have used non-embedded font from CJK
pack in your document, it wouldn't be shown on those machines that
have no respective CJK installed). Currently we support CID font
organization only non-embedded OpentType fonts.

As for the bold/italic Korean typeface - I believe that this language
use other means for text emphasis (though I'm not an expert).

Best regards,
Alexander Peshkov                             mailto:peshkov at renderx.com

KS> We have XML files that we have translated from English to Korean. We 
KS> have the latest versions of oXygen and XEP installed on both PC and Mac 
KS> systems. I was able to properly process PDFs after installing Adobe's 
KS> CJK language pack, and this is fine for proofreading etc. But the 
KS> challenge I am now faced with is creating PDFs with a comparable look 
KS> to the English source, this requires a bold and italicized variant of a 
KS> Korean typeface.

KS> What I need to know is:

KS> What would be the easiest way to do this? ie. Would I have less/more 
KS> troubles installing and using these fonts on a particular platform?

KS> When shopping for fonts, what do I need to be sure to get? Do they need 
KS> to be CID Keyed? Should they be TrueType/OpenType?

KS> I'm pretty sure I can figure out how to make them available to XEP as 
KS> it seems pretty straight forward, is there anything else I should know?

KS> Thanks in advance, your support has always been top notch!
