Font embedding subset

Hello,

big disadvantage of FastReport is missing font subset embedding in PDF export. One page report with Arial a Arial Black font is about 1,2 MB large, but can be only about 50 kB. Specially that is big problem if report is used on web where primary export is PDF. But it is problem in desktop application too. There is plan of this feature in next versions?

Thanks

    Thanks Alex. Can you rough estimate time when it will be implemeted. I as software developer know that estimates was very difficult if we implementing new feature.

    Since it's quite complex task, I cannot tell the estimate date. I hope it will be ready in 3 months.

    i have the same huge PDF files in my application, which makes for incredibly slow exporting.


    has this been resolved in later versions? if so how do i implement it?

    edit: using this code
    report.EmbeddingFonts = False
report.Compressed = True

    UPDATE:

    setting these 2 flags creates a pretty small PDF (around 100KB for 1 page with moderate graphics)
