and legally required to be inserted into the output. RenderX respects this and will insert the copyright information *<b>even if you are only using one character of that font</b>*. We have had customers complain that using one smiley face increases the output
PDF size by 100kb. This is because the copyright notice must be inserted into the PDF output (something other formatters may not do).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
