Font handling
l
Additional Content Text improvements
WhenaddingtextasAdditionalContentinOutputPresets,TrueTypeCollections(TTC)fontfiles
werenotsupported.TTCfontsallowasinglefiletoholdmultiplefontstypes.SinceTTCfontscan
beimportantforAsianlanguagefonts,wehavenowaddedsupportforthese.
Previously,AdditionalContenttextallowedselectingBoldandItalicforanyfont,evenifthebold
oritalicversionwasnotpresent.Wenowonlydisplaythefontvariationoptionsforafont,ifthat
fontvariationisactuallyavailable.

PDF Output font selection
Addedselectionforeithersimplemixedbytefontencoding(forsmallersize)orfixed2byteCID
fontswithidentityencoding(forgreatestcompatibility)forPDFoutput.(SHARED-65462)
Connectalwaysusedsimplefontsinitsoutput,butdynamicallyswitchedtocompositefonts
whenthenumberofcharactersinafontgrewtoolarge.Thisapproachbestreducedoutputfile
size.Butinsomecasesthedynamicfontcreationcausedviewingissueswithcertain
PDFviewers,eventhoughthefontmethodiscompliantwithPDFstandards.
Toaccommodatesuch,wehaveprovidedanalternativefontcreationmethodwhichalwayscre-
atesCIDfontswithidentityencoding.Thisresultsinlargeroutputfiles,butprovidesbettercom-
patibilitywithPDFviewers.
WhengeneratingPDFfornon-Westernlanguages,thisnewoptionmaybetherecommended
choice.

FixedanissuewithoutputofTrueTypefontencodinginformationthatcouldcausespecialchar-

Email Output Improvements
l
Meta information added to the Email Section Properties
Thisallowsviewpointmetainformationtobeaddedandconfiguredintheemail.Thismetainform-
ationwillnotbevisibletothereceiver,butcanhaveaneffectonhowtheemailisrepresentedin
theemailclient.(SHARED-64761)
