Embedding fonts in documents

I use standard fonts in my documents for which there is no reason to embed.
But, occasionally, I need to use a weird foreign language font.

Is embedding fonts an all or nothing thing, or can I just embed the unusual
font?

You can just embed the unusual font. If you're restricted space-wise,
you can choose to embed only the characters of that font that are
actually used, but that's usually going a bit far. HTH

Thanks. How do I embed the unusual font? The Save options only have an
option to "embed True Type fonts" or not.

There is a check box for "Do not embed common system fonts."

Found it! It was grayed out and I did not notice it until I selected to
embed truetype fonts.
