Embedding font support

[aeischeid]

Is it possible to add embedding font support to grails-pdfplugin? When creating pdfs in langages with diactric marks, letters with diactric marks are not shown since there is no embedded font to display them. To change it I have made following:

Added new configuration variable in Config.groovy:

pdfplugin.addFonts=["/media/disk/Windows/Fonts/arial.ttf"]

Modified PdfService.groovy
(added imports)

import com.lowagie.text.pdf.BaseFont
import org.codehaus.groovy.grails.commons.ConfigurationHolder

(after creating renderer add fonts)

    ITextRenderer renderer = new ITextRenderer();
    def fonts = ConfigurationHolder.config.pdfplugin.addFonts
    fonts.each {
        renderer.getFontResolver().addFont (it,
            BaseFont.IDENTITY_H,
            BaseFont.NOT_EMBEDDED); 
    }

Best,
Marcin

sweet, looks like a good fix to embedding fonts. might need some tweaking because people aren't going to want to edit the config file of the plugin itself, but rather in their application ... but maybe that is what you meant... anyway I'll see if I can get it in soon.
