Right, and since the original message said it was a "highly specialized
form," I thought maybe there was a barcode font or something of the like
that wasn't installed on some of the receiving computers, but was
installed on others.
What I'm not sure of is whether a PDF reader will abort the entire
display due to one font being irreconcilable
("What the heck do I do with this? Forgedaboudit, abort!")

In XFRX (and therefore I assume any PDF writer implementation) you can embed
all fonts used, embed only the specific characters used in your text (to reduce
the final file size) or don't embed fonts at all, which should give you the
smallest PDF file. In the latter case the I believe PDF reader will attempt to
do a substation based on general font family (i.e. if you use a san serif font
but did not embed, it will substitute a san serif font when the document is
displayed).

I thought it was also possible to choose not to embed the font, and if you use
a non-standard font the reader will do substitution as possible?
