Re: Why set font inclusion to none for Acrobat 5 on Mac OS

[Dov Isaacs <isaacs@xxxxxxxxx>]

Because, simply stated, Acrobat Distiller 5 has the ability to find all
fonts -- including Type 1, TrueType, and OpenType -- at distillation time.
Acrobat Distiller 4.0x could not find TrueType and OpenType and thus all
fonts needed to be in the PostScript stream. (Note that if you are preparing
PostScript files for distillation on another system, you most certainly should
always include the fonts in the PostScript stream since there is the strong
possibility that the "other" system's fonts won't match those on your system!)

Remember, that we are talking about inclusion of fonts in the PostScript
stream, not the option to embed the fonts in the PDF file. These are
two separate issues.
