Remove unused fonts
in [Beginners]
|
From: Keith on 3 Mar 2010 15:57 I had just this very problem. I solved it by opening the source Word document, click STYLES to show all the paragraphs, click on NORMAL (the 'root' style, so to speak, as I understand), click MODIFY and change the font to one that is used elsewhere, and whichn you _want_ embedded in your pdf. The font showing in the Normal style, in my document, was the font that kept coming up in my pdf, and which was not actually used for any text. But also do a search and exchange, looking for instances of the rouge font. You can make Word search for fonts by typing ctr-h, them click more/special/format/font, and chose the one you want to look for. You can automatically change it for one you do want by doing all that again, with the cursor in the 'replace with' window. faceman2820 wrote: Why do unused fonts appear in a PDF 08-Feb-10 I am creating a PDF file and several unused fonts appear embedded in the PDF. I have tried several PDF creators and get the sames fonts (e.g. why embed Century Schoolbook?). So they must be getting the information from Word. However, I have searched the document (all in Times New Roman) using the font search and there is no century schoolbook anywhere.

Have you checked all the styles are correct including any blank paragraphs you may have entered to create spacing? Are you sure that none of the styles are based on a style using a different font? Why are you embedding fonts into the PDF? How are you able to confirm that Century Schoolbook is embedded? -- Terry Farrell - MSWord MVP On Monday, February 08, 2010 5:37 PM Yves Dhondt wrote: I agree that it must be in the document (the file), but it does notnecessarely I agree that it must be in the document (the file), but it does not necessarely have to be in the text itself. One could define a style using the font and never apply the style. When converting to pdf, it is likely that the unused style, and thereby (part of) the font, will be included in the pdf. In Acrobat, you can just do File -> Properties (CTRL+D) and go to the 'Fonts' tab. It shows which fonts are embedded (mostly subsets).

I have selected the entire document and the font text box shows times new roman, rather than a blank as when multiple fonts are selectged. PDF creators do it automatically. If you inspect the PDF's properties you can see the fonts and that Century Schoolbook is there.

You have applied Direct Formatting, so the underlying style is still set at CSB. As an illustration, if you SelectAll and execute Ctrl+Q and Ctrl+spacebar, it will remove ALL direct formatting and display all the underlying styles.

Did you check all the styles or only the ones you used in your document? Like I stated in an earlier reply, an unused but defined style could be causing the font to be included. Try the following. Save your document as a Word 2007 document, i.e. with the docx extension. Now, close Word, go to the file and change the extension to zip. Open the archive and browse to the 'word' directory inside. Check the file 'fontTable.xml' to see if the Century Schoolbook font is listed there. If not, check 'styles.xml' file. If the font is listed in any of those, the pdf creation will include it.

It looks like word creates an internal character style for linked styles. I can see the font in one of these. In this particular case it is the 'QuoteChar" style, part of the built in Quote style. I have disabled linked styles in document.

In this document the Quote style is set to use Times New Roman (Roman). Makes me wonder if Word loses track of the character part of a linked style.
