I have just spent considerable time creating a look-alike of an old
government document in PostScript. I used GhostScript to then convert this
into PDF. It's great! Now, the fonts that get displayed in Adobe Acrobat
are not exactly what I want. I found a font that is much closer to what
I would like this ultimate PDF document to look like, and read Adobe's
license agreement which says it is ok to "embed" the font into the PDF.
So my question is, how do I do this embedding of a font so that when a
user reads this PDF document, it won't get a font on their machine but
will use this "embedded" font instead? Thanks for any help...
