#150 embed font into annotated PDF

[Joshua Pritikin]

I annotated a PDF on Linux, saved it, email'd it to a friend on Mac OS/X, and he couldn't read the annotations. It looks like a font was missing because the annotations showed up as lots of little squares. Is there some way to embed the font into the resulting annotated PDF to avoid this kind of problem in the future?

Hi, the font normally does get embedded into the PDF, but I am aware of
lingering cross-platform issues. I think on MacOS/X there's also a
strange behavior of the Apple Preview app, Adobe Reader seems to be more
cross-platform compatible, though in your case it might not make a
difference.

If you are using xournal 0.4.8, see whether turning Options -> "Legacy
PDF Export" on or off helps / makes things worse / ... If you are
using an older version, see whether upgrading to 0.4.8 helps, or if
using File -> Print -> Print to File -> PDF gives a better result than
File -> Export to PDF. (The new Export to PDF code in 0.4.8 behaves
similarly to what File -> Print -> "Print to File" does, and should be
much better behaved than the old code. Turning on the "Legacy PDF
export" option reverts to the old behavior.)

I upgraded from 0.4.7 to 0.4.8 and the problem is solved. I did not use Legacy PDF Export. Thank you!
