Certainly it is possible to embed all the fonts in a pdf, and this is often a good idea. It's not always the default though. How you do it will probably depend which tool/library you are using to produce the .pdf. I am not sure if font embedding is possible in a .ps document. -- Nick Rout <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- [email protected] mailing list
