If you open a PDF file on a computer that has these fonts installed, Acrobat uses the installed fonts to display and print the PDF file.
To each PDF file it creates, Acrobat Distiller adds a description of Type 1 fonts that use the ISO Latin 1 character set. For more information about Type 42 fonts, see "TrueType Fonts" in the "How Font Types Affect Text in PDF Files" section of this document. If the font is a Type 42 font, Acrobat Distiller creates a name table for the font from a matching system font Type42 fonts typically don't include name tables. For example, if the original document includes a TrueType font that's installed on the system, Acrobat Distiller derives the BaseFont and FontName from the font's name table. (The name table stores font information, such as name, style, and copyright.) If a PostScript name isn't available, Acrobat Distiller uses the system's name for the font.
PostScript font names are usually listed in the name table of a font. See the Kanji Fonts section of this document for information about when you can use and view Kanji fonts in PDF files.įor Acrobat Distiller to successfully convert a document to a PDF document, it must reference each font in the original document through the following processes as the document is converted first to PostScript, then to PDF.Īcrobat Distiller looks for a PostScript font name and adds it to the PDF document. Kanji (Japanese) character sets contain double-byte Japanese characters. Cyrillic character sets contain the alphabet characters for languages, such as Russian and Ukrainian. Symbol character sets contain non-text characters, rather than alphabet characters. SC & OSF character sets contain specially designed letters and numbers to customize a document's appearance. Expert character sets include fraction and ligature characters for the English alphabet. The ISO Latin 1 character set (or standard Type 1 character set) includes the standard English, French, Italian, and German alphabet characters, as well as punctuation characters and numbers. Character sets for Type 1 fonts, for example, can include one or more of the ISO Latin 1, Expert, Small Capitals and Old Style Figures (SC & OSF), Symbolic, Cyrillic, and Kanji character sets: In addition to the font type, Acrobat Distiller uses the font character set to determine what font information to include in the PDF files it creates.
Mac OS font types include: Type 1 fonts, Apple TrueType dFonts, TrueType fonts, and OpenType Fonts from Adobe. Windows font types include: Type 1 fonts (or PostScript fonts), Type 3 fonts, Windows bitmap and vector fonts, TrueType fonts, and Open Type Fonts from Adobe (Windows 2000 and XP). Acrobat Distiller recognizes all Windows and Mac OS fonts however, the type of font that you use (for example, TrueType) determines how Acrobat Distiller handles the information for that font.
