OK, I "groups.googled" for you (FWIW, comp.text.pdf deals with such
questions), see a list of "Base14" fonts mentioned in

I only have the free reader. Haven't be able to justify the full short
for what I do. I purchased "adoc2pdf" converter for the little bit of
PDF work that I need. In addition, if I did use the full shot, I would
never be able to give up this newsletter when I grow tired of it. I'm
trying to keep the job simple and contained within Word which is at
least popular.

:-)

Then you might want to have a look at the site of whoever sold/supports
this adoc2pdf. They should know whether it's possible to embed and/or
subset fonts.


It sure would be nice if Word had a save as PDF option. About as likely
as security being added to the Windows operating system.

I agree it would be nice. Security seems to be constantly added to the
Windows operation system. Hackers are adding constantly, too :-(


I don't have it but I do have friends with full Adobe but my concern
would be size. Including all or some of the fonts might just blow up the
size of the file such that some of the ISPs would balk at its size or
those with dial-up would need tickets to a movie while downloading.
The file even in compressed PDF format is hefty and I'm trying to keep
it streamlined.

One or two embedded fonts, even without subsetting, doesn't bloat your
file. And if you are using too many fonts, you might want to reconsider
anyway, from a typographical standpoint. Rule of thumb: Use 1 or 2 fonts
at max for anything you do (that has nothing to do with PDF :-)).
