install zapfdingbats in the windows/font directory”. When I checked
my windows/font directory the zapfdingbats isn’t there either. And
it doesn’t show up in my install of Office 2009. However, it is in
the Program files/render/fonts directory.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>ZapfDingbats is configurable in
the default "Base Adobe fonts" section of XEP within the xep.xml
configuration file. But default installations of XEP should already have this
configuration.<br>
<br>
Can you check whether he has the font installed on his machine? i.e. ask him to
open up an application such as Word and check to see if he can see ZapfDingbats
in the fonts dropdown list.<br clear=all>

<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>I am using XEP (unsure of the version #) to create PDF from
XSLT. The output looks correct on my system but when the client runs the
same XSLT/FO (using a different version of XEP, unsure what #) none of the
ZapfDingbats characters output. We have gone round and round about this
but currently the client is coming back with “If the font is not
embedded, the rendered file can only be viewed on systems that have the font
configured for use with viewing or printing the application.”
<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>My understanding is, once the PDF is rendered, and unless it
is then reopened in some program capable of editing it, the PDF is set in
stone. So any PDF viewer on any machine (Linux, Mac, Windows) with any
(or no) fonts installed will show it as rendered. The problem with
rendering the font is located on the machine doing the rendering not the
machines later doing the viewing. Is this correct and could someone
explain the quoted sentence above with an example?<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>What else might be making their rendering not output the
correct fonts while my output (using the exact same transformations) renders
correctly?<o:p></o:p></p>
