• A: Yes. However, when using uncommon fonts, make sure that the fonts are “embedded” into the PDF during creation. • Q: What fonts should be embedded? Change in guidance • A: Previous guidance specified that the “Base 14” fonts do not need to be embedded. This guidance has been rethought and we are now specifying that ALL fonts should be embedded. This was due to the fact that Adobe has changed the fonts included in the Base 14 grouping once before and could do so again. To ensure that all fonts are available for EPA reviewers over time, please embed all fonts. • Q: The guidance specifies to use 12 point type for tables. Can a smaller font be used? • A: Yes, when the tables will be unwieldy using the larger font, it is OK to use a smaller font. Avoid, however, anything smaller than 8 point.
