Support is really the wrong word. Adobe supports all TT, PS Type 1 and OT fonts. Times New Roman and Arial, and Courier are assumed to be on the system or installed by Reader. The following is from an Adobe Tech document: > To ensure that a form design looks the same across PDF, PCL, and > PostScript output devices, you should use these fonts: > � Courier > � Arial > � Times New Roman > For form designs that are rendered only as > PDF, use any of the fonts listed above that are included with AdobeReader to optimize performance. In other words, if you want your document to look exactly as intended these are the best choices---unless of course you embed the fonts into your pdf. However, this increases the size of the pdf and not all fonts are embeddable. Not everyone knows how to make sure embeddable fonts are embedded, so it is easier to make a dictum: USE ONLY Times New Roman, Arial, and Courier. ...Mike
