Sending TrueType fonts as Type 42 fonts preserves their appearance and prevents substitution with Type 1 fonts. This option is best for preserving text searchability. Keep in mind, however, that other variables also affect searchability. With this option, the printer driver won't include TrueType font information in the PostScript file. This option is recommended only for printers or network spoolers that supply fonts.
This option specifies how small a font's point size must be before it is sent as a bitmap rather than as an outline. Setting the threshold to 1 will prevent fonts from being sent as bitmaps. With the Softfont option, the printer driver sends font description information. This option helps retain appearance, but not searchability. With the Device Font option, the printer driver lets you customize a font substitution table to match each installed font with a printer-resident font.

Flags The attributes of the font, including fixed-width, serif, symbolic, script, italic, small caps, all caps, or other attributes.
FontBBox A bounding box that is the smallest rectangle capable of containing any characters in the character set if drawn on top of each other. ItalicAngle The angle in degrees of the dominant vertical strokes; usually negative. StemV The width of the vertical stems in characters. AvgWidth optional The average width of characters in the font. FontFile optional The complete typeface outline. Present only when the font or font subset is embedded.

XHeight optional The y-coordinate of the top of the flat non-ascending lowercase characters for example, "z" , measured from the baseline.
