We use google fonts almost exclusively these days -- Free, many have a wide range of weights, and they read well on screen. Added bonus: none of the wonky "available in application X but not in application Y" issues that Adobe fonts seem to be plagued by (on MacOS at least).

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 ZjQcmQRYFpfptBannerStart This Message Is From an External Sender This message came from outside your organization. ZjQcmQRYFpfptBannerEnd 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. https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Roboto/about?query=roboto__;!!KwNVnqRv!DYs1ePN8HurXYOPW-pEt8jqcHIAe89n0fW2HEeWZvDJQo3bSWNf6eigcQgkYE9fomFWJ6vAVeB7pM_UIS6nqWxg$<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/fonts.google.com/specimen/Roboto/about?query=roboto__;!!KwNVnqRv!DYs1ePN8HurXYOPW-pEt8jqcHIAe89n0fW2HEeWZvDJQo3bSWNf6eigcQgkYE9fomFWJ6vAVeB7pM_UIS6nqWxg$> Regards /// Simon BUCH On 21/03/2024 14:02, Tammy Van Boening wrote: > 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 > > Sent from my iPhone.
