[reportlab-users] [PATCH] Add TTF Embedding Option

[Yoann Roman]

Per the earlier discussion (see "Disable TTF Embedding"), I was looking 
for a way to replicate Acrobat's "never embed" font option in RL.

The only patch needed for TrueType fonts was to ttfonts.py. The default 
behavior does not change; this adds an optional "embed" argument to 
TTFont that, if explicitly set to 0, will prevent the font embedding.

I wasn't sure if the encoding was necessary. Acrobat specifies it, the 
spec says its optional, and RL leaves it out for TTFs. I followed RL 
and left it out.

I'm certainly no PDF spec expert and don't know if this has unintended 
side effects. I also realize most people won't need this, but, since it 
doesn't change the default behavior and is a minimal patch, I don't see 
any harm in adding it.

Thanks,
