I dont know exactly from which directory acrobat reader is using to get fonts but I assume Ýt is using in a win2000 computer C:\winnt\fonts directory to load requeired fonts.

        An ASSUMPTION is just that...

Acrobat uses a variety of techniques to do "font substitution" when you don't embed - and they are NOT guaranteed to be correct. It's why Adobe, as well as all of the ISO PDF standards, recommend/require embedded fonts.


I think this is a very bad problem because instead of COUR.TTF which is defined in Base14 font

There is no such thing as the Base 14, since Acrobat 5. All versions of Acrobat since 5.0 do NOT maintain any special "Base14" fonts.


for pdf files If I use verdana I can display cyrilic characters correctly in version 5.0 and 7.0
with out embedding fonts.

Maybe on the couple of Windows computers that you are using - but that won't help your Mac OS or Linux customers. Nor will it help someone trying to view your doc in the future when MSFT stops including Verdana.

        EMBED THE FONT!
