embed fonts in word - not working.
Hi Jonathan:
Font embedding is always risky. Most people don't do it any longer because it rarely works properly. Just because you own the font, does not mean you have a license to distribute it. Even if you do have a license to embed the font, that does not mean it will work on someone else's computer. There are various levels of permission a font designer can set on a font. You may have one that can be embedded for display only. As soon as the other user attempts to edit, the font will disappear. The only safe way to do this is to send the font to everyone and ensure that they install it.
