Why won my PDF creationware embed my favorite font?
Fonts that are present on a computer and available for use by applications are generally copyrighted and licensed. They are only useful if they can be downloaded for printing. However some font licenses do not allow you to embed the font in another file for sharing with someone else is something like a PDF. That restriction is marked within the font file itself and the PDF creationware will not allow such restricted fonts to be embedded. Microsoft has made a Windows Explorer extension application available that will tell you more details than you ever wanted to know about a font. It is downloadable from here: http://www.microsoft.com/typography/TrueTypeProperty21.mspx By clicking with the right mouse button you can get the details about the various permissions granted by the font license. Unfortunately, it only works with True Type fonts.
