Well that was disappointing and a bit expensive. Researched and purchaed the Tiresias font (LPfont type, as it had bold and italic versions), then found the following things:
- If embedded in a PDF file, it can't be extracted by the latest Acrobat reader with local fonts disabled (maybe some fonts have embedding permissions disabled?? Maybe some font format issues?). The font may have been used in the readerIt may have used the correct font in the reader, but the font was very small so it's hard to tell.
- In the reader, bold, italics, etc. are not displayed. (See below for speculations).
- Apostrophes and some other punctuation marks were lost (missing glyph symbol).
So at least with a direct conversion from RTF to PDF (using a trial version of the Adultpdf converter) this didn't work. Any other recommended converters that support font embedding?
I suspect part of the problem with bold etc. is that the OpenType font engine in the Reader simply unpacks existing fonts, and requires higher-level software to emulate bold, italics, etc. Maybe the Postscript implementation can't handle this.
Are there bold and italics versions of the built-in fonts? Those doing the international font patches should be able to say. In any case, I have not been able to get these to work.
