1. Re: Insidious bug in Acrobat's preflight...
Eric @ MCA Nov 3, 2008 4:55 PM (in response to RodneyA)Apparently this is somehow related to the Pro fonts in general. We've been fighting serious bad juju with Minion Pro for the last 9 months. And that is in CS2.
Your most reliable fix will be to set fonts to "Entire Font" (or whatever it is instead of "Subset").
Whenever I've set that, there are no further issues.
BTW, our problems were occurring in the PDFs. Particularly after combining or splitting pages, re-optimizing etc etc etc. -
2. Re: Insidious bug in Acrobat's preflight...
RodneyA Nov 4, 2008 6:53 AM (in response to RodneyA)Right, which is where my problems were occurring. I looked through the "Digital color" preflight profile, and there are no "fixups" relating to fonts (there are things about fonts that get flagged, but not that should get changed).
I altered the original Press Quality preset in Indesign from "subset fonts below 100%" to "subset fonts below 1%," and made a new PDF. I was able to run the Digital Printing Color Preflight protocol in Acrobat, save it, open it again, and the fonts were okay. So thanks so much for the tip! That may have solved it.

Eric @ MCA Nov 4, 2008 10:18 AM (in response to RodneyA)Yeah, it seems like Pro fonts can swap out with non-Pro or something? Or it can swap subsets around within the document when it shouldn't?
As near as I can tell, using whole fonts everywhere gives you a safety net in that you can't lose characters as easily since all variants of the font have all characters so even if it plays musical fonts with all the embedded variants, they should all have characters to draw regardless of where they end up.
