embedSystemFonts (Embed Common System Fonts)

This element specifies that applications shall embed common system fonts when they are in use and font embedding is enabled for this document using the embedTrueTypeFonts element (§2.8.2.8). Common system fonts refer to a set of fonts which are typically always present on a machine, and are not defined by this Office Open XML Standard.

If this element is omitted, then the set of fonts defined as common system fonts should not be embedded in the current document when font embedded is turned on. If the embedTrueTypeFonts element is omitted or false, then this setting has no effect.

[Example: Consider a WordprocessingML document that specifies that it shall embed fonts, including common system fonts. This requirement would be specified using the following WordprocessingML in the document settings part:

<w:embedTrueTypeFonts w:val="true" />
<w:embedSystemFonts w:val="true"/>

The embedSystemFonts element's val attribute has a value of true specifying that common system fonts should be included in this document when they are used. end example]

Attributes

Description

val (On/Off Value)

Specifies a binary value for the property defined by the parent XML element.

A value of on, 1, or true specifies that the property shall be explicitly applied. This is the default value for this attribute, and is implied when the parent element is present, but this attribute is omitted.

A value of off, 0, or false specifies that the property shall be explicitly turned off.

[Example: For example, consider the following on/off property:

<w:… w:val="off"/>

The val attribute explicitly declares that the property is turned off. end example]

The possible values for this attribute are defined by the ST_OnOff simple type (§2.18.67).
