Re: To PDF/a Conversion without licensed fonts (java)

Hello Arthur,
what you could try (checking the license) is using the ghostscript fonts
like...
                <font kerning="yes"
embed-url="file:///usr/share/fonts/type1/gsfonts/n019003l.pfb">
                    <font-triplet name="Helvetica-Roman" style="normal"
weight="normal"/>
                    <font-triplet name="Helvetica" style="normal"
weight="normal"/>
                    <font-triplet name="Nimbus Sans L" style="normal"
weight="normal"/>
                    <font-triplet name="sansserif" style="normal"
weight="normal"/>
                    <font-triplet name="sans-serif" style="normal"
weight="normal"/>
                    <font-triplet name="Helvetica Roman" style="normal"
weight="normal"/>
                </font>
                <font kerning="yes"
embed-url="file:///usr/share/fonts/type1/gsfonts/n019004l.pfb">
                    <font-triplet name="Helvetica-Roman" style="normal"
weight="bold"/>
                    <font-triplet name="Helvetica" style="normal"
weight="bold"/>
                    <font-triplet name="Nimbus Sans L" style="normal"
weight="bold"/>
                    <font-triplet name="sansserif" style="normal"
weight="bold"/>
                    <font-triplet name="sans-serif" style="normal"
weight="bold"/>
                    <font-triplet name="Helvetica Bold" style="normal"
weight="normal"/>
                </font>
                <font kerning="yes"
embed-url="file:///usr/share/fonts/type1/gsfonts/n021003l.pfb">
                    <font-triplet name="Times-Roman" style="normal"
weight="normal"/>
                    <font-triplet name="Times" style="normal"
weight="normal"/>
                    <font-triplet name="Nimbus Roman No9 L"
style="normal" weight="normal"/>
                    <font-triplet name="serif" style="normal"
weight="normal"/>
                    <font-triplet name="Times Roman" style="normal"
weight="normal"/>
                </font>
                <font kerning="yes"
embed-url="file:///usr/share/fonts/type1/gsfonts/n021004l.pfb">
                    <font-triplet name="Times-Roman" style="normal"
weight="bold"/>
                    <font-triplet name="Times" style="normal"
weight="bold"/>
                    <font-triplet name="Nimbus Roman No9 L"
style="normal" weight="bold"/>
                    <font-triplet name="serif" style="normal"
weight="bold"/>
                    <font-triplet name="Times Roman" style="normal"
weight="bold"/>
                </font>
etc.
