Error on Font Install: Could not embed because of licensing.
#1 Posted by chumak on 2004-09-29 21:00:40 | quote |
Hello,

Downloaded a font from your site, installed on an XP machine. Used in an InDesign layout, when exporting to PDF I recieved the following error.

"Starstruck: This font could not be embedded because of licensing restrictions. The font must be installed to view or print this file properly with Adobe Acrobat."

Using XP SP2, Indesign 2.02 and Acrobat 6.0

Thanks in advance, would like to purchase library once it's working.

actually that is up to the font designer if they want to restrict the embedding or not.

the font file can be "hacked" to allow embedding however that is not legal and you can get in trouble even thought the font is free
