It's also possible that font embedding is not carried over from template to
document. Since this is a per-document setting, it's possible it needs to be
explicitly enabled in each document.

What can't you believe? The embedding has obviously failed.

I took a closer look:
If I open up the dot template and click the "Font Substitution" button
in tools/options, I get the "all fonts available" message. So the
univers font seems really to be embedded in the dot. Also the page looks
ok on the screen. So I guess the used truetype fonts are ebeddable.

If I doubleclick on this template (the same dot file) to generate a new
document and then press the "Font Substitution" button, it tells me the
univers fonts are missing!!? Word replaces them with Arial. Of course
the page now looks different.

I tested this also with an office 2003 installation, different machine,
and also with different truetype fonts (but not the office standard
ones). Same result. I can't believe my eyes... ??!?

I seem to remember that some fonts do allow embedding, while others
don't. Univers (on of Adrian Frutiger's fonts) might well belong to
the
latter category. Word (at least, say, in the 2000 version) didn't tell
you a thing about it, so you never really knew whether the fonts
actually got embedded for real.


Now I had to discover, that these fonts look different whether I open
up just the dot itslef or if I create a new document based on that
template???! How can that be???!


No idea! Can you specify the differences a bit in detail?


Using Office XP, fonts are not installed on the test machines.


Not sure whether Word 2002 had the same dialogue, but what does Tools

Options | Compatibility: Font Substitution tell you?
