Why do unused fonts appear in a PDF
I am creating a PDF file and several unused fonts appear embedded in
the PDF. I have tried several PDF creators and get the sames fonts (e.g. why embed Century Schoolbook?). So they must be getting the information from Word. However, I have searched the document (all in Times New Roman) using the font search and there is no century schoolbook anywhere. |

Why do unused fonts appear in a PDF
It must be in the document. Have you checked all the styles are correct
including any blank paragraphs you may have entered to create spacing? Are you sure that none of the styles are based on a style using a different font? Why are you embedding fonts into the PDF? How are you able to confirm that Century Schoolbook is embedded? -- Terry Farrell - MSWord MVP wrote in message ... I am creating a PDF file and several unused fonts appear embedded in the PDF.

Why do unused fonts appear in a PDF
I agree that it must be in the document (the file), but it doesn't
necessarely have to be in the text itself. One could define a style using the font and never apply the style. When converting to pdf, it is likely that the unused style, and thereby (part of) the font, will be included in the pdf. In Acrobat, you can just do File - Properties (CTRL+D) and go to the 'Fonts' tab. It shows which fonts are embedded (mostly subsets). Yves "Terry Farrell" wrote in message ...

I have selected the entire document and the font text box shows times new roman, rather than a blank as when multiple fonts are selectged. Why are you embedding fonts into the PDF? How are you able to confirm that Century Schoolbook is embedded? PDF creators do it automatically. If you inspect the PDF's properties you can see the fonts and that Century Schoolbook is there. |

Why do unused fonts appear in a PDF
If one of the styles is set as Century Schoolbook and you change the fonts
by SelectAll and do a global font change, this is not changing the style. You have applied Direct Formatting, so the underlying style is still set at CSB. As an illustration, if you SelectAll and execute Ctrl+Q and Ctrl+spacebar, it will remove ALL direct formatting and display all the underlying styles. Terry wrote in message ...

In fact, I went back, printed the Style definitions. No Century Schoolbook. I went through each style and not one of them uses century schoolbook And it's not been applied to any of the text. |

Why do unused fonts appear in a PDF
Did you check all the styles or only the ones you used in your document?
Like I stated in an earlier reply, an unused but defined style could be causing the font to be included. Try the following. Save your document as a Word 2007 document, i.e. with the docx extension. Now, close Word, go to the file and change the extension to zip. Open the archive and browse to the 'word' directory inside. Check the file 'fontTable.xml' to see if the Century Schoolbook font is listed there. If not, check 'styles.xml' file. If the font is listed in any of those, the pdf creation will include it.

Interesting. I can see where it is coming from. It looks like word creates an internal character style for linked styles. I can see the font in one of these. In this particular case it is the 'QuoteChar" style, part of the built in Quote style. I have disabled linked styles in document. |

Another interesting thing...The actual font is Century Schoolbook Bold Italic. In this document the Quote style is set to use Times New Roman (Roman). Makes me wonder if Word loses track of the character part of a linked style. |
