It may be a "standard Windows font" today, but what about in Longhorn? Or post-Longhorn? Does it exist on Mac OS? or Unix? There are MANY better ways to reduce the size of PDF documents (including tools such as PDF Enhancer - http://www.apago.com/enhancer.html) than making PDFs that won't stand the test of time. >But in my code I have always embedded the font ... for obvious reasons. Good - do NOT change now!!!
