Default Why do unused fonts appear in a PDF

I agree that it must be in the document (the file), but it doesn't
necessarely have to be in the text itself. One could define a style using
the font and never apply the style. When converting to pdf, it is likely
that the unused style, and thereby (part of) the font, will be included in
the pdf.

In Acrobat, you can just do File - Properties (CTRL+D) and go to the
'Fonts' tab. It shows which fonts are embedded (mostly subsets).

It must be in the document. Have you checked all the styles are correct
including any blank paragraphs you may have entered to create spacing? Are
you sure that none of the styles are based on a style using a different
font?

Why are you embedding fonts into the PDF? How are you able to confirm that
Century Schoolbook is embedded?

I am creating a PDF file and several unused fonts appear embedded in
the PDF. I have tried several PDF creators and get the sames fonts
(e.g. why embed Century Schoolbook?). So they must be getting the
information from Word.
However, I have searched the document (all in Times New Roman) using
the font search and there is no century schoolbook anywhere.
