Hello Tammy,
"Standard" with Windows? I find that Microsoft will make changes to
their Windows and Office offerings as they want to, and Adobe tends to
supply few and fewer fonts with every product release. For example,
Microsoft recently changed the default Office font from Calibri to Aptos.
Fonts that come with Windows are not the same as fonts that are supplied
when Microsoft Office is installed.
One good example of this is "Arial". When some versions of Office were
installed, Arial got a "Unicode MS" variant which had many more font
glyphs than the original Arial. This would sometimes cause problems when
Word documents were shared with users who didn't have the extra fonts
installed.
I would suggest to specify a font the customer wants, regardless of what
Microsoft specifies.
This way you/customer can choose which fonts to use, but also determine
under which license the fonts are available.

OK all,
I am doing a major overhaul on an existing template for a client. I very much
like the San serif fonts of Eurostile or Roboto, but I really don’t want to
break my cardinal rule of using proprietary fonts that have to be embedded in
the final PDF. I really would like to be able to use a font that comes standard
with windows, but which font, in your opinion, that comes standard with windows
would be the closest to either of these two fonts?
My client saw a template that I was working on for another project and really
commented that they liked the look of the Roboto font and then I showed him one
with the EUROSTILE font and they like that one just as much. That said, I don’t
wanna leave my client with having to deal with fonts in their source files.
Thanks!
Tammy
