            Bug ID: 510441
           Summary: WISH: Allow limiting PDF comments to the standard
                    fonts Helvetica, Courier, Times Roman
    Classification: Applications
           Product: okular
      Version First 23.08.5
       Reported In:
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: PDF backend
          Assignee: okular-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: bauer.klaus.dieter at gmail.com
  Target Milestone: ---

The PDF standard requires that all viewers render the fonts Helvetica, Times
Roman and Courier --- and their italic, bold, and bold italic variants ---
without them being embedded.

Given that fonts used in comments are embedded (not as subset fonts, but the
whole font), significantly increasing the file size of the PDF, the ability to
restrict comments to the standard fonts would be very useful.

Note that this is currently not even possible to do manually, unless you
actually have a license for these fonts; While metric-compatible fonts can be
used, they will also be embedded when saving the comments.
