Accessing and embedding fonts using Distiller
When converting a PostScript file to PDF, Distiller needs access to the file’s fonts to insert the appropriate information in the PDF. Distiller first searches the PostScript file for Type 1, TrueType, and OpenType fonts. If the font isn’t embedded in the PostScript file, Distiller searches additional font folders. Distiller searches the following font folders in Windows:
-
/Resource/Font in the Acrobat folder
-
/Windows/Fonts
Distiller searches the following font folders in Mac OS:
-
/Resource/Font in the Acrobat folder
-
/Users/[user name]/Library/Fonts
-
/Library/Fonts
-
/System/Library/Fonts
The Acrobat installation includes width-only versions of many common Chinese, Japanese, and Korean fonts, therefore Distiller can then access these fonts in Acrobat. Make sure that the fonts are available on your computer. (In Windows, choose Complete when you install Acrobat, or choose Custom and select the Asian Language Support option. In Mac OS, these fonts are installed automatically.)
For information on including fonts in a PostScript file, see the documentation that came with the application and printer driver you use to create PostScript files.
Note: Distiller does not support Type 32 fonts.
