PDF Core Fonts (Base 14) > Core fonts as defined in the PDF reference are guaranteed to be always present, and need not be embedded in the PDF file: ? Courier, Courier-Bold, Courier-Oblique, Courier-BoldOblique ? Helvetica, Helvetica-Bold, Helvetica-Oblique, Helvetica-BoldOblique ? Times-Roman, Times-Bold, Times-Italic, Times-BoldItalic ? Symbol ?

Helvetica-Italic = Helvetica,Italic = Arial-Italic = Arial,Italic, Arial-ItalicMT ? Acrobat maps these names accordingly ? PDFWriter is notorious for creating PDF with alternate core font names Acrobat versions ship with different core font sets and map these: Implications of the modified Acrobat 6 core font set ? Helvetica and Times are no longer available in the Acrobat installation ? text display in these fonts is subject to font availability on the system ? should better embed these in order to avoid problems ?
