I'm not sure how to neatly do this. I suppose the user could add the font to the ppd file and the font would then be treated as a builtin font.
This is pretty much the "kludgy" method I was referring to below.
I would think that it would be pretty simple to have a per-printer setting to control this. (The default would, of course, be to do the embedding.) In fact, I can probably add this once your patch hits.
- Please don't disable the current (very kludgy) method of printing TrueType fonts. Client-side font rendering is definitely the way to go, but it currently causes Wine to crash on my system. Until client-side rendering stabilizes, I (and others) need to use X- based fonts but print TrueType fonts.
Sounds like we need to fix the bug then. Could you open a bugzilla bug and include a +xrender,+font log?
Of course, I can't reproduce the crash now. So I guess that you can consider this one "fixed".
