Well, now I don't know whether the font installed or not. 

Evidence that it did: 

1. I am runnning Distiller 3.02 

2. Acrobat Distiller->Font Locations reports the following: 

Macintosh HD: Adobe Acrobat 3.0: Fonts 
Macintosh HD: Adobe Acrobat 3.0: psdisk:fonts 
Macintosh HD: System Folder: 
Macintosh HD: System Folder: Extensions 
Macintosh HD: System Folder: Fonts 

3. Creation/Modified Dates on the Parisian fonts in the Fonts folder are: 

Created: Mon, April 16, 1990, 11:44 AM 
Modified: Sat: Oct 19, 2002, 4:45 PM 

The latter is the date and time of the (apparently successful) download. Fonts are 4055 bytes long. No version data is reported. 

4. Checking my account I get: 

�Download already pending.� 

Whatever that means. Launching the Adobe Dowload Manager gets: �There are no filtes to download at this time." 

Evidence that I didn't get it: 

Test file has one line of Parisian, one line of Lydian MT. 

Distiller -> Job Options -> Font Embedding has: 

Embed all fonts checked 
Parisian added to the �Always Embed� list 

Lydian goes, Parisian fails. 

Using Acrobat Reader 4.0. File->Document Info->Fonts reports: 

Original: Parisian 
Type: Type 1 
Encoding: Custom 
Used:Adobe Sans MM 
Type: Type 1 

and 

Original: LydianMT 
Type: Type 1 
Encoding: Custom 
Used: Embedded Subset 
Type: Type 1 

The fragments of the .ps file containing �parisian� are: 

%%DocumentFonts: Parisian LydianMT 
%%DocumentNeededFonts: Parisian 
%%DocumentSuppliedFonts: LydianMT 

and 

%%IncludeFont: Parisian 
/f44/Parisian 
:mre 
/f57 f44 18 scf 
%RBIBeginFontRasterizer: TrueType 
%%BeginFile: lw8_TrueType-2.0 

The latter suggests that Frame is finding the old True Type font, which contradicts the date/time modified data on the font files. 

This is really reaching the "Why me, Oh Lord" stage :-) 

Cheers, 

Earl
