Font Awesome on PDF when there are not longer TTFs

Post by chuck_agari »

My biggest stumbling block in getting a final PDF output for this release is Font Awesome. I've watched the Mike Kelly video and looked at the (extremely sparse) slide deck, as well as read the many forum posts here. All say that it required the TTF versions of the font to be installed.

But it seems not FA is distributed only in Open Type format. Will that work with Flare's PDF output? (Note I have the OTF installed on my system already.)

I've not tried the OTF, but since you already have it installed then why not just try it out?

FontAwesome 4.7 included a TTF - don't know about v5.

I am. It's not working in PDF targets.

We've upgraded to 5.x.
