Jaws PDF Editor uses what is known as the Base 14 PostScript fonts for substituting fonts on screen and for printing when fonts have not been embedded or subset in the PDF. The Base 14 fonts are: Times, Times Italic, Times Bold, Times Bold Italic, Helvetica, Helvetica Oblique, Helvetica Bold, Helvetica Bold Oblique, Courier, Courier Oblique, Courier Bold, Courier Bold Oblique, Symbol, Zapf Dingbats. The quality of font substitution varies depending on what font was originally used to create the document. If fidelity to the original document is important then the original fonts should be embedded or subset in the PDF.
