restricted font - unable to save basic pdf - help please

The font in question is set to not allow embedding in PDF. You might want to let the designer (Graham Meade) know that is a problem for many users.

Additionally, be aware that the standard license for this "free" (no charge) font says "This font can be used for personal use only. Businesses or companies must gain permission for use."

Assuming that Mr. Meade cannot or doesn't want to provide a non-protected font for you, your only legal alternative if you want the font embedded in a PDF file is to find another, similar font without the embedding restriction.

Reading this thread is pure pleasure.

And you find “pleasure” in the fact that the OP Radana has encountered a nasty licensing issue?

Dov,

No, but yesterday, in the original thread in the Illustrator forum I suggested Radana post here to get the best possible answer, presumably from you.

So it was a great pleasure to see (as an extra bonus) that Thomas gave an answer within two hours and that you an answer within four hours.

Thomas,

Have you not been away for a while?

There isn't much traffic in the "typography" section of these forums, of late. I still keep an eye on them, at least most of the time.

That is very good to know, Thomas, and reassuring.

I will remember next time I refer someone to this forum.
