Distiller 7 missing fonts

[Owen, Clint]

Some fonts are restricted from being embedded by the font foundry. It is
an attribute of the font files. This prevents them from being extracted
from the PDF by a third party and reused.

Hello All

 

(sigh) I know this question must have been asked dozens of times.

 

Using FrameMaker 7.1 p116 and Acrobat Professional (Distiller) 7.0.7.
Windows XP SP2.

 

I try to create a PDF from FrameMaker using File > Save as PDF.
Distiller fires up but fails to produce a PDF (because of my settings)
with the following message:

 

%%[ ProductName: Distiller ]%%

%%[ Error: GillSans not found. Font cannot be embedded. ]%%

%%[ Error: invalidfont; OffendingCommand: findfont ]%%

 

The GillSans it refers to is installed on my system using ATM Lite. It's
a Type 1 PostScript produced by Adobe, file name GN___.pfm and .pfb.
There are a number of related fonts - the italic, bold, etc.

 

In Distiller the font locations are set to:

 

C:\PSFONTS\PFM\

C:\Windows\Fonts\

C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat 7.0\Resource\Font\

 

And a couple of other places.

 

In Distiller's Adobe PDF Settings the Embed all fonts option is checked,
as is Subset embedded fonts when percent...is less than 100%. And "When
embedding fails" is set to Cancel job.

 

I removed and reinstalled the fonts from the original disk using ATM,
but the message still appears. In FrameMaker the paragraph formats using
these fonts are OK - i.e. the font is not greyed in the paragraph
designer.

 

Any ideas?
