RE: [Swftools-common] pdf2swf: font spacing very closed after conversion

Hi Jonas,

Thanks for reply. Yes, I realise the cause of reason. 
Once I have the fonts embedded into the PDF, everything went fine.

Regards,
Fred

I believe you have a font replacement problem. If you look closely
you'll see that for  instance the "S" in "Sie" is skinnier in the PDF
than in the swf/screen dump. I have not examined the corresponding
postscript, but I suspect that "S" and "ie" have been drawn separately
taking the kerning of the original font into account.

For me it looks good in Acrobat, but it looks similar to your screen
dump when viewed in for instance evince.
