Yes, looking at the output from Indsign CS4, that's the algorithm used.. I see it's different to the IDPF one, which takes the UUID but then performs a SHA1 on it to get a 20 byte key (instead of just taking the first 16 bytes), and XORs the first 1040 bytes (not the first 1024 bytes).

I suppose the question is whether ADE can read the IDPF encyption or not. If not, I'll be able to switch my font mangler to the Adobe version easily.

The IDPF way is neater, but I'm not sure it was worth changing Adobe's suggestion.
