Your > insights, as always, are greatly appreciated. Saving as EPS does not embed the fonts. If you print to PostScript and turn on 'include all fonts' this makes the PDF file more reliable. If in Acrobat, you turn off 'use local fonts' this forces Acrobat to use the fonts inside the PDF which makes the PDF display as the author intended. You can embed the fonts into a PDF after it is made using Enfocus Pitstop Professional, providing you have them - I think there may be an Xtension available that enables one to embed the fonts when you save a Quark Page as EPS, but I am not sure...
