[reportlab-users] Disable TTF Embedding

[Yoann Roman]

This is probably the opposite than most people want, but I'm trying 
to stop ReportLab from embedding TTF fonts, such as Arial.

When I create a PDF via Acrobat, it lists this under "Fonts":

- Arial-BoldItalicMT
    Type: TrueType
    Encoding: Ansi
    Actual Font: Arial-BoldItalicMT
    Actual Font Type: TrueType
- Arial-BoldMT
    Type: TrueType
    Encoding: Ansi
    Actual Font: Arial-BoldMT
    Actual Font Type: TrueType
...

With ReportLab, I get this:

- Arial-BoldItalicMT (Embedded Subset)
    Type: TrueType
    Encoding: Built-in
- Arial-BoldMT (Embedded Subset)
    Type: TrueType
    Encoding: Built-in
...

I'm registering these like so:

  from reportlab.pdfbase.pdfmetrics import registerFont
  from reportlab.pdfbase.ttfonts import TTFont
  registerFont(TTFont('Arial', 'arial.ttf'))

Any ideas?

Thanks,
