Hi,

I probably have the strangest problem with font. And will tried to explain problem.

When using TrueType font named "cnovosti" for the headlines in my newspaper after exporting page in PDF have message: Acrobat cannot embed this font because od licensing restrictions... and blah, blah, blah... In Distiller (version 6) next to that font in left window have lock and key icon, so I cannot embed it to the right window.
I actualy have licensed font which have been several time sent to me from manufecturer but problem persisting. I tried with option "never embeded font" and have right PDF document but problem come after in Prepress because some od character defaulting to strange dots or so instead of normal look. I start thinking that problem could be with prepress but is not because same of my pages are done overseas with the same font (wich BTW they sent to me too) and have no problem in prepress printing.
Looks that I have problem somewhere in my computer but have no idea how to fix it. Originaly I making my layouts in QuarkXpress 6.

Any sugesstions or answers please.
 
There are some fonts - whether you own the licence or not - that the manufacturers prevent embedding in a PDF. The only solution is to convert the text to outlines (assuming it's only a small amount of text) or use a different font.
