The inclusion of these standard fonts with the ePAGE PDF agent is left

as an option to the OEM, because the fonts consume device memory
and on constrained devices this may not be acceptable to the OEM.


Best performance will be obtained when the standard fonts are included

in the device, thus ensuring exact reproduction of the text as intended
by the document author who created the PDF original. The ePAGE PDF

agent scans the device for all installed fonts and will make use of the
standard fonts exactly as intended when they are available.


However the ePAGE PDF agent has been created primarily for mobile

devices, and recognises that the standard fonts may not be available due
to memory constraints. In this case, ePAGE will automatically find the

font on the system that is the closest match to the specified standard
font, and all of the text will be fully rendered in this matching font.

Document content is never lost, and text is fully readable, but the effect
of using a substitute font may cause slight differences in the text metrics.

This can result in some text being slightly mispositioned compared to
