One of the largest type distributors, Adobe has greatly influenced the evolution of digital type. Adobe's key contributions include the PostScript, Multiple Master and OpenType formats and a large collection of fonts considered by many designers to be graphic standards.
A font can be embedded only if it containsa setting by the font vendor that permits it to be embedded. Embeddingprevents font substitution when readers view or print the file,and ensures that readers see the text in its original font. Embeddingincreases file size only slightly, unless the document uses CIDfonts. a font format commonly used for Asian languages. You canembed or substitute fonts in Acrobat or when you export an InDesigndocument to PDF.
You can embed the entire font, or just a subset of the charactersused in the file. Subsetting ensures that your fonts and font metricsare used at print time by creating a custom font name. That way,for example, your version of Adobe Garamond®,not your service provider’s version, can always be used by the serviceprovider for viewing and printing. Type 1 and TrueType fonts canbe embedded if they are included in the PostScript file, or areavailable in one of the font locations that Distiller monitors andare not restricted from embedding.
When a font cannot be embedded because of the font vendor’s settings,and someone who opens or prints a PDF does not have access to theoriginal font, a Multiple Master typefaceis temporarily substituted: AdobeSerifMM for a missing serif font,and AdobeSansMM for a missing sans serif font.
The Multiple Master typeface can stretchor condense to fit, to ensure that line and page breaks in the originaldocument are maintained. The substitution cannot always match theshape of the original characters, however, especially if the charactersare unconventional ones, such as script typefaces.
Note:
For Asian text, Acrobat uses fonts from the installed Asian language kit or from similar fonts on the user’s system. Fonts from some languages or with unknown encodings cannot be substituted; in these cases, the text appears as bullets in the file.
If characters are unconventional (left), the substitutionfont will not match (right).
Note:
If you have difficulty copying and pasting textfrom a PDF, first check if the problem font is embedded (File >Properties > Font tab). For an embedded font, try changing thepoint where the font is embedded, rather than sending it insidethe PostScript file. Distill the PDF without embedding that font.Then open the PDF in Acrobat and embed the font using the Preflightfixup.
When converting a PostScript file toPDF, Distiller needs access to the file’s fonts to insert the appropriateinformation in the PDF. Distiller first searches the PostScriptfile for Type 1, TrueType, and OpenType fonts. If the font isn’t embeddedin the PostScript file, Distiller searches additional font folders.Distiller searches the following font folders in Windows:
To specify other font folders for Distiller to search, in Acrobat Distiller, choose Settings > Font Locations. Then in the dialog box, click Add to add a font folder. Select Ignore TrueType Versions Of Standard PostScript Fonts to exclude TrueType fonts that have the same name as a font in the PostScript 3 font collection.
Note:
To provide Distiller with access to a font folder that has been moved, use this dialog box to remove the folder listed in its old location and add it in its new location.
You can create a printable previewof your document that substitutes default fonts for any text formattedin fonts that are available on your local computer but are not embeddedin the PDF. This preview can help you decide whether to embed thoselocal fonts in the PDF, to achieve the look you want for your document.
Ifyou need to enter a font name manually on the Fonts panel of the AdobePDF Settings dialog box, you can use a PDF to find theexact spelling of the name.
