RE: Acrobat Issue

[Dov Isaacs <isaacs@xxxxxxxxx>]

Heidi,

The font in question is from the "Image Club Graphics" font library,
now sold by Eyewire. <http://www.eyewire.com/>

My TrueType copy of that font shows no restrictions for embedding
in PDF files. Nor does the EULA for the old Image Club Graphics font
library or the current EyeWire products prohibit embedding in PDF
files.

Either you have a really ancient TrueType version of the BubbleDot 
font (pre 1996 or so) that might be defective OR you have a TrueType
"conversion" of the Type 1 version of the font, the conversion being
improperly done via a program such as Fontographer.

Contact Eyewire for an updated copy of the font. You might need to
provide some evidence of where you obtained the font in the first
place.

        - Dov
