[pdftex] Re: Ghostscript vs. Acrobat Reader quirks

[Beuthe, Thomas]

And again, as I mentioned in an earlier message, watch out for the fonts
that
distiller does not embed by default.  This issue can really come back to
haunt
you, as not everyone has all of the fonts you may be using loaded on their
machine...

Um. PC-centric again (from Y&Y?).  Unix versions of Distiller do this
via environmental variables and seem to have much more control (they can
use resource databases).


Well, normally Distiller finds the fonts itself. But it does provide the
option to control which of the directories it finds with fonts are to 
actually be used.  Handy when you have different versions or some
junk fonts.
