It's not nearly as good in my opinion. If you have a chance to watch the documentary on Helvetica<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helvetica_%28film%29>, I highly recommend it. It touches on this subject, but is very interesting in general. Thanks for the link. I didn't realize the state of embedding fonts was as complex as this. I plan to read more and see if there is a workable solution or combination of solutions. Nate
