Default Printing a pdf file

If I create a document at home using Publisher 2007 with a specific font
style, and go to work and try to print it there when the Publisher 2007
installed at work does not have the same font I have at home, will it change
my font style, and if so, can I save it as a pdf file and still be able to
print it at work without having the font style changed at work. I prefer the
font style I have at home, but I have to use the work printer which prints
huge posters. Thank you for any help you can give me. Or, does anyone have
any suggestions on how I can accomplish this?

If you (or any reader) doesn't have the font installed on your system, it
will change. You can try embedding the font but not all fonts can be
embedded.

What JoAnn said. But yes, saving as a pdf file and taking that to work
to print will solve your problem.

What about if I save my work to a pdf file, will that keep the same font
style I used when they open it?

That's not true. It's the whole point of creating a pdf file. Well, one
of them, anyway.

IF the font is embed-able, not all font licenses allow embedding.

Right, not all fonts can be embedded. Many PDF creation tools do NOT
embed the fonts in the PDF, but most DO. If a font is not embedded in a
PDF then Adobe Acrobat will check to see if the font is loaded
(available) on the workstation opening the PDF for viewing. If a font is
NOT embedded in a PDF and is NOT available on the workstation then Adobe
Acrobat uses its own multiple master fonts to (Adobe Sans Serif and
Adobe Serif) to simulate as closely as possible the fonts that are not
embedded in the document. Many times the printer driver allows for font
substitutions (thank you Microsoft...) whether you allow it or not. And
that's assuming that you know it is substituting fonts...

Glory,

You could copy the font file needed, email as an attachment to the computer
needing the font. Upon receiving the email with the attached font file,
install it.
