https://www.xpdfreader.com/xpdfrc-man.htmlGENERAL FONT CONFIGURATION
fontFile PDF−font−name font−file
Maps a PDF font, PDF−font−name, to a font for display or PostScript output. The font file, font−file, can be any type allowed in a PDF file. This command can be used for 8-bit or 16-bit (CID) fonts.
fontDir dir
Specifies a search directory for font files. There can be multiple fontDir commands; all of the specified directories will be searched in order. The font files can be Type 1 (.pfa or .pfb) or TrueType (.ttf or .ttc); other files in the directory will be ignored. The font file name (not including the extension) must exactly match the PDF font name. This search is performed if the font name doesn’t match any of the fonts declared with the fontFile command. There are no default fontDir directories.
fontFileCC registry−ordering font−file
Maps the registry−ordering character collection to a font for display or PostScript output. This mapping is used if the font name doesn’t match any of the fonts declared with the fontFile, fontDir, psResidentFont16, or psResidentFontCC commands.
POSTSCRIPT FONT CONFIGURATION
psFontPassthrough yes | no
If set to "yes", pass 8-bit font names through to the PostScript output without substitution. Fonts which are not embedded in the PDF file are expected to be available on the printer. This defaults to "no".
psResidentFont PDF−font−name PS−font−name
When the 8-bit font PDF−font−name is used (without embedding) in a PDF file, it will be translated to the PostScript font PS−font−name, which is assumed to be resident in the printer. Typically, PDF−font−name and PS−font−name are the same. By default, only the Base-14 fonts are assumed to be resident.
psResidentFont16 PDF−font−name wMode PS−font−name encoding
When the 16-bit (CID) font PDF−font−name with writing mode wMode is used (without embedding) in a PDF file, it will be translated to the PostScript font PS−font−name, which is assumed to be resident in the printer. The writing mode must be either ´H’ for horizontal or ´V’ for vertical. The resident font is assumed to use the specified encoding (which must have been defined with the unicodeMap command).
psResidentFontCC registry−ordering wMode PS−font−name encoding
When a 16-bit (CID) font using the registry−ordering character collection and wMode writing mode is used (without embedding) in a PDF file, the PostScript font, PS−font−name, is substituted for it. The substituted font is assumed to be resident in the printer. The writing mode must be either ´H’ for horizontal or ´V’ for vertical. The resident font is assumed to use the specified encoding (which must have been defined with the unicodeMap command).
psEmbedType1Fonts yes | no
If set to "no", prevents embedding of Type 1 fonts in generated PostScript. This defaults to "yes".
psEmbedTrueTypeFonts yes | no
If set to "no", prevents embedding of TrueType fonts in generated PostScript. This defaults to "yes".
psEmbedCIDTrueTypeFonts yes | no
If set to "no", prevents embedding of CID TrueType fonts in generated PostScript. For Level 3 PostScript, this generates a CID font, for lower levels it generates a non-CID composite font. This defaults to "yes".
psEmbedCIDPostScriptFonts yes | no
If set to "no", prevents embedding of CID PostScript fonts in generated PostScript. For Level 3 PostScript, this generates a CID font, for lower levels it generates a non-CID composite font. This defaults to "yes".

There are a couple people here who can't resist responding to everything the aSSwurm or the Pussy Willow says. It does me no good to plonk aSSwurm and Pussy Willow if I still have to wade through a hundred inane posts a day involving those two assholes, so now I've plonked the chronic responders as well. They'll figure it out, and then they can make a choice... exchange stupid drivel with those two, or have more intelligent and interesting conversations with me. I know damned well Greg got sick of all that shit, and now I'm sick of it too. Those who choose to get led around by the lowest common denominator are fucking up AC and every other group they play that game in. If that's the kind of Usenet they want, they can wallow in the same slop as the two retards elsewhere, because they're only contributing to fucking this group up too. I can take or leave this shit, because I have plenty to keep me occupied with my room addition project, and it's a hell of a lot more rewarding than exchanging baby talk with the likes of the aSSwurm. May his fucking worthless AIDS-infested carcass drop fucking dead ASAP and quit wasting oxygen. To sum it up, talk to those two idiots elsewhere, or they'll probably be the only people left to talk to here." One can only presume that Jim and Creon/Vallor have solved this problem and are together in a private chat "having more intelligent and interesting conversations" instead of these "Civil" calls for shunning and authoritative control of discussion.

"Sorry, nothing to see here. The joint wasn't as bad as they say, but I'm not looking to go back. I'm a model citizen, clean as a whistle. I've owned my own home for 12 years, owned my own business almost as long, don't bother anyone and they don't bother me. You have nothing in any "police report" pertaining to me. Don't you think they would have "come a-knockin" a long time ago if they had any reason to? You're delusional and paranoid, and I have to wonder why.
Oh... I should mention that there are a LOT of trannies in prison. I don't know why, but there are. The State even has to give them hormone shots for their tiddies at taxpayer's expense, and they wear bras and panties. I found everything about them revolting. That's why the whole "Bubba" thing is almost completely a myth, except in cell living. That shit wouldn't fly in a 100-man dorm, but trust me, those little trollops find ways to serve the willing when the lights go out. You see something, you keep your mouth shut about it because that way you don't get in a wreck. I never partook in such activities because the whole idea is just repulsive. I think that's a big part of what I don't like about you. I've seen how they act and I've talked to a few... total drama queens in every sense." -James "Checkmate" Gorman reminisces about prison in <
