Good question Dominic.

As I understand it...

If you use a printer driver for a real printer to create a postscript file
(you shouldn't) then the driver may not reference TT fonts in the postcript
file that it sees as being resident on the printer. When subsequently
running the Acrobat 4 Distiller program these fonts cannot be embedded in
the resulting PDF.

If you use the Distiller printer driver to create a postscript file, all TT
fonts in the source file are referenced in the postscript file. When
subsequently running the Acrobat 4 Distiller program these fonts are
embedded in the resulting PDF (subject to licence restrictions).

Assuming that you do use the Distiller driver to create the ps file, I don't
know why you might want to embed a font that does not appear in the source
file, but there may be a reason? Anyway, I think you can do so with Acro5
but not Acro4.

At least all this is my understanding, based on the advice I've heard on
numerous occasions in the FrameUsers group by Adobe experts. Hopefully, one
of them is following this thread and can put me straight :-)
