The books from the CONNECT store use the resident TrueType fonts in the Reader. They are Dutch 801 and Swiss 721 from Bitstream.

There are several collections of Bitstream fonts available from retailers on the web. I picked up my copy of Bitstream fonts some time ago in the "Bitstream 500 Font CD". I am sure that there are current collections at a reasonable price still available. They were included for a time (and may still be, I'm not sure) as part of Corel Draw and Word Perfect packages from Corel.

Most fonts for the PC or Mac come as a group of four related fonts including regular, italic, bold, and bold italic. The Reader has only one base (or regular) font installed and derives the other versions from this base font. Windows and OSX will do the same if the other files are missing. However, the resulting italic will look close but may differ slightly between the computer and the Reader.
