builder.font.name = "PostScriptFont"
builder.writeln("Some text with PostScript font.")

# Load the font with PostScript to use in the document.
with open(FONTS_DIR + "AllegroOpen.otf", "rb") as file:
    otf = aw.fonts.MemoryFontSource(file.read())

doc.font_settings = aw.fonts.FontSettings()
doc.font_settings.set_fonts_sources([otf])

# Embed TrueType fonts.
doc.font_infos.embed_true_type_fonts = True

# Allow embedding PostScript fonts while embedding TrueType fonts.
# Microsoft Word does not embed PostScript fonts, but can open documents with embedded fonts of this type.
save_options = aw.saving.SaveOptions.create_save_options(aw.SaveFormat.DOCX)
