Unavailable fonts message - incorrect?

[Fred Ridder]

Quite right about SVG, David. I neglected to include SVG in my list because I have never actually used that format. The last time I experimented with SVGs--back in FM7, if I recall correctly--they weren't fully supported so I abandoned my attempt to use them.  For the last several years, I have always used cropped PDFs whenever possible and have had very few issues with them.

I do have personal experience with missing fonts messages caused by each of the four formats I mentioned. EMF and WMF are particularly troublesome because those formats only embed the font *name*, never any of the glyph outlines from the font itself, so the graphics are totally dependent on each system's complement of installed fonts.

Excellent summary from Fred!
I'll just add the (very minor) point that SVG graphics can have font information in them, too. If the font's glyphs used in the SVG's aren't embedded, that would trigger this FM error.

... They can even be hiding in certain types of graphic objects that contain font specifications (PDF, EPS, WMF, EMF).
