Re: [Inkscape-user] Saving as PDF creates a very large file
Okay. Then how to get these fonts into inkscape..?
They must be bought somewhere and install..?
Isn't there any font in inkscape that is present by default in pdf..?
Thanks

There are lots of fonts but not these above.
Sorry, these are the standard fonts that are available in PDF. That is a flaw in Inkscape: if they have an export as PDF, then they should also have the PDF standard fonts available.

The cairo PDF exporter in Inkscape 0.46 does not support creating PDF files that uses, but does not embed, the 14 standard PostScript fonts. Cairo subsets the fonts it embeds so the embedded fonts do not take up much space. The standard fonts feature has been deprecated since PDF 1.5 and it is now recommended that all fonts used in the PDF are embdeded.
If you are having problems with large PDF files sizes I recommend ensuring that Inkscape is using version 1.6 or later of cairo and the "Convert text to paths" option is not set.
I was just mucking around with Ubuntu 8.04 beta today, and installed Inkscape 0.46 there, and it installed cairo 1.6.0 without any tweaks to the repositories, so you should be able to install cairo 1.6 on the latest Kubuntu from the repositories. Or if it's not readily available for Kubuntu 7.10, then 8.04 has release candidates and the final version is due out within a week.
