I've used this feature from Appsoft Draw, and I assume that it works with other
applications. Be sure to set "Chosen Printer/Include Fonts" from the pull-down
Save menu. You also have to install the "chosen printer", and chose it. It
all worked fine for me. (I produced a figure that a friend of mine printed out
on his color printer; he didn't have the same fonts I did, so I had to include
them using this method.)
