PUB2000: Some Fonts in the Font List May Not be Used in the Publication (218639)

SYMPTOMS

When you work with fonts in Microsoft Publisher 2000, you may notice that some fonts listed in the Load Fonts window and the Fonts window are not being used in the publication. You may notice this behavior while you prepare for your publication for commercial printing, embedding fonts, or opening an unpacked publication.

CAUSE

This behavior can be caused by customized Microsoft Publisher Design Gallery objects that contain fonts. These objects are specific to particular publications, and are saved in the publication files. Publisher will embed any fonts used by Design Gallery objects in case the object is needed again, and even if the Design Gallery object is deleted from the publication the fonts will remain embedded.

RESOLUTION

You can choose not to embed any number of fonts using the Commercial Printing Tools.

On the Tools menu, point to Commercial Printing Tools, and click Fonts.
In the Fonts window, highlight any font that you want to remove.

NOTE: Make note of the data under the License Restrictions column. Some fonts cannot be embedded due to licensing issues. If the font can be embedded, you will see May embed under the License Restrictions.
Click Don't Embed to avoid embedding the font with your publication.
Click OK.

NOTE: If you use only a small number of characters from a font, you can have Publisher embed only the characters you used from the font. Embedding only part of a font is called subsetting. To conserve space, you may also turn on font subsetting in the Font window. Click to select Subset fonts when embedding check box to use this feature.
