Well, at the risk of impertinence (since I can't directly address
your question), if you have Adobe Reader, you've got Myriad Pro (as
well as Minion Pro). I don't know what OS you have, but here's where
I find it on the Mac:
/Applications/Adobe Reader 9/Adobe Reader.app/Contents/MacOS/
Resource/Font/
Yes, I know that. I'm trying to produce a package that will work on
any OS; alternatively, since most people will have Adobe Reader
installed on their system I should just find out the absolute
locations of the font on Windows and Linux and hard code the location
with a user set flag for OS. This would certainly avoid needing to
default to Arial.
