FrameMaker 6 and Distiller font embedding problem
Here are my answers to these questions: 1. Font licensing Purchasing a font does not necessarily entitle you to embed the font in a PDF file. It depends on the restrictions the font designer has specified for the font. If you have the Microsoft Opentype font properties extension (available from the Microsoft Typography web site www.microsoft.com/truetype), you can inspect the "Embeddability" of the font. If it is set to "Restricted licence embedding" then Acrobat Distiller will not embed it in the PDF file. 2. Acrobat Distiller was the name of the distillation port created by Acrobat up to V5. With V6 the name of the port changed to "Adobe PDF" but it still performs the same function.
