Wieird Font Problem

[Gaderian]

Using MS-Office Pro 2003 (Publisher), Windows XP
When using some True Type Fonts, some of the letters have turned into a
symbol for some reason. The font is embedded and the dialog box for
Commercial Printing shows that the fonts in questing "May Embed" but these
symbols appear after editing some text.

Example: the number " 5 " now appears as a small box. The same thing
happens with the letter " K " and a few others. I tried changing to a
common font (Arial), and now other letters and numbers turn into this box
character. This is happening with a brochure I'm creating in Publisher.

There are no problems with any of the other Office products using the same
common fonts even with the printed results. I even tried creating the text
in MS-Word (perfect results). But when I copied and paste it into the
Publisher brochure, those pesky characters show up again.

What am I doing wrong?

Turn off Font Embedding, or if you must use font embedding, turn off
Subsetting of embedded fonts.

Ed, Turned off the embedding and that did the trick!!! Thanks.

But that begs the next question. Before I send off this brochure for
professional printing, don't I have to embed the fonts or should it be okay
the way it is?

You will need to embed the fonts just before you send it for printing.

Alternatively, send the font files separately, or use fonts that your
printer has, or use a PDF file with embedded fonts.

Thanks again.
