Embedding fonts

[gijimbo]

I cannot get Word 2007 to embed the font "BankGothic Md BT". I checked the fonts folder and it says "Restricted license; Print and preview; Editable".

The way I understand the msdn explanation is: if the font has "print and preview" and "editable", I should be able to open the document on another computer and be able to view, print, and edit text with that font.

This couldn't be farther from the truth! I even made sure to embed ALL fonts just to make sure Word didn't consider bankgothic a "common" font.

I've been testing various methods by:
1) Installing the font on my computer
2) Saving the document with the various embedding options
3) Uninstalling the font
4) Re-opening the document

It seems to me that if the font is embedded, I should be able to open the document and have the font look right even if I don't have it installed. Isn't this the point of embedded fonts?

I would appreciate anyone's ideas on this.

It seems to me from your description that the fon't license restricts its use such that embedding is not permitted. Setting Word's embedding option won't get around that.
