I was really interested as to why this works for Acrobat 6.0 and not 5.X when they're both on the same Win2K system using the same Windows resident Courier .TTF (and glyphs).
Ah, but that is the assumption you are making - that they are using the same font to substitute. They are NOT (or may not) since they use different substitution systems.
Also, check that both machines are using the same setting for "Use Local Fonts"...
If I embed the font would you expect the method I
described to work reliably for other versions of Acrobat? Even on other non-Windows O/Ss?
If you embed, the who issue goes away because the glyphs are embedded!
My aversion to embedding is that it bloats the PDF file sizes and increases download times.
True, but you can use subset embedding to keep the size down - AND the advantages of embedding outweigh this minor issue.
If you are concerned about size, you may want to look at tools such as our PDF Enhancer (http://www.pdfsages.com/enhancer.html) which uses numerous techniques to keep file sizes down.
