---------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: Re: Fonts and PDF From: Tracey Clark <tterm...@sbcglobal.net> Date: Wed, 19 Oct 2011 14:04:35 -0700 X-Message-Number: 1 If the fonts themselves are not imbedded in the document, and usually they aren't, the device that is displaying/printing the document must have them. It sounds to me like you may be missing some fonts that are being called out in the latest newsletter.

Also MSIE older earlier than Version 7 have problems with font substitution. http://www.ehow.com/how_7211788_display-not-embedded-pdf-files.html http://www.ehow.com/how_8419380_repair-missing-fonts-adobe-pdf.html Ann MacKay On Tue, Oct 18, 2011 at 11:52 AM, Kay Koehler <kayko...@gmail.com> wrote: > ** > I was always told that a PDF file preserved the formatting of the original > document, including the fonts, etc. > > I have just discovered that a PDF file of our most recent state newsletter > does NOT display the correct fonts when opened in MSIE.

A .pdf file is an image, just like a photograph, so fonts won't change.
