Error exporting fonts to PDF

[Jason Bourne]

Hello,
I have file in InDesign. When i try to export fonts to PDF, i get the following error: "This font could not be embedded due to restrictions in the font file. The font should be installed to enable viewing in PDF."

Any suggestions?

First of all check your pdf settings. InDesign will automatically substitute the proper ligatures in. Try creating a new style and suppress ligatures, then export to a pdf.

Some Multiple Master fonts are created by the user/designer with a thrid party program manipulating both the Postsript screen and printer fonts and then resaving as new files. When these fonts are used in a document, they can use all kinds of specialized encoding systems and may cause problems through rips. This error is because some font vendors and/or font-mangling utilities do not set the /FTS flag to a valid value for CID fonts. Get a new version of the font with a valid /FSType flag.

You need to open the font in Fontographer and change the fsType field. Please read the TrueType documentation on the Microsoft website to find out the correct values.
