[Therion] PDF-Version

[Martin Budaj]

Hi,

> is it possible to say Metapost witch version of PDF I want to use?

theoretically yes, but you should not specify lower version than
therion chooses (1.4 is required by PDF specification if you use
transparency (this is the default value in therion), 1.5 if you use
layers).

Recent versions of therion include unicode mapping information in pdf
files, so there should be no conversion problems for unicode-aware
applications (provided you have the same font available in both apps,
tested in Inkscape).

If you are using latest therion, please post the file 'therion.log',
otherwise try upgrading.
