Different font creators or foundries have different embedding permissions related to their font software. You may embed font software, or outlines of font software, into your electronic documents to the extent that the font vendor copyright owner allows for such embedding. All fonts produced by Adobe Systems can be embedded in Acrobat PDF and other files. However, the end user license agreement for fonts from other foundries may not allow embedding, even though Acrobat may be technically able to embed either the entire font or a subset of that font. To determine whether a given font can legally be embedded in a PDF document or other file, you should contact the original foundry that created the font software.
