all: consider using //go:embed directives

[sbinet]

now that we require Go>=1.16, we can use //go:embed directives.

Do you mean to replace embedded.go with //go:embed ?

I would like to try this new directive, i can try to work on this issue.

Currently embeddedMapList has only cp1250 and cp1252 but it's possible to embed all map files of font directory.

Something like that ?

//go:embed font/*.map
var embeddedFontMap embed.FS

func (f *Fpdf) UnicodeTranslatorFromDescriptor(cpStr string) (rep func(string) string) {
	if f.err == nil {
		if len(cpStr) == 0 {
			cpStr = "cp1252"
		}
		emb, err := embeddedFontMap.Open("font/" + cpStr + ".map")
		if err == nil {
			rep, f.err = UnicodeTranslator(emb)
		} else {
			rep, f.err = UnicodeTranslatorFromFile(filepath.Join(f.fontpath, cpStr) + ".map")
		}
	} else {
		rep = doNothing
	}
	return
}

yep, some like that.

when I filed that issue I hadn't surveyed the whole list of embedded files that fpdf used.
