Assembly: PdfNetStack.dll  
Package: `PdfNetStack`

One of the 14 standard PDF fonts (ISO 32000-1, 9.6.2.2). Viewers supply them, so nothing is
embedded and files stay small. They cover Western and Central European Latin text, plus the
Symbol and ZapfDingbats sets; for anything else, or for PDF/A, embed a font.

```csharp
public sealed class PdfStandardFont : PdfFont
```

## Remarks

Latin text uses WinAnsiEncoding (Windows-1252). Up to 37 other characters the font has, such
as Ł, ő or −, get codes of their own per document. Standard fonts are not kerned. Line
spacing follows the metric compatible fonts viewers substitute (Liberation Sans, Serif and
Mono), which matches how browsers lay out the same families.
