MrChips made Incarnation in 1998 using Macromedia's Fontographer. The default setting were restricted license embedding, meaning that no embedding is allowed: the font may not be embedded in documents.
There are two ways to solve the problem:
1. the nice way:
a: tell the receiver of your pdf to download the Incarnation and install it (or at least open it) before opening the pdf
b: pack the Incarnation with the pdf and tell the receiver ... and so on ...
2. the not so nice but effective way:
Open Incarnation in a font creation program, goto settings and change the embedding settings to editable embedding.
Uninstall the version you had and then install this version with embedding rights and make your pdf again.
done done done ...
Why is Incarnation restricted for use in making a PDF? Are all fonts so restricted?
I created a card and wanted to send a PDF to a friend. On creating the PDF, I get a system message: "This font could not be embedded due to restrictions in the font file. The font file must be installed to view or print this file properly with Adobe Acrobat."
I had properly installed the font in XP.
The PDF was created and looked OK; not so on another computer which did not have this font installed.
Are free fonts not free if I want to make a PDF?
Might someone help and advise? Many thanks.
