Question

embedding fonts troubleshoot

I am having a hard time embedding my font. It is a truetype font, and I tried packaging it and exporting it (with the subset fonts set to 0%) and it is still not working. 

This is what comes up after I try exporting (and the file opens as a pdf with the wrong fonts)

Any ideas would be much appreciated. Thank you!

"(with the subset fonts set to 0%) "

You shouldn't do that, it's counterproductive.
Incorporating unnecessary elements (characters) into a file only serves to increase its weight, nothing else.
It's a bit like taking your ski equipment with you when you go to the beach in summer.

    As @Rene Andritsch wrote, it could be because the font that you use does not allow embedding. To check this, go to the Text menu > find font, then click on the font name and read the infos > restrictions (be sure that the bottom panel is displayed by clicking on “more info”).

    What does the problem state in detail? Have you also exported with the standard setting of “100%”. Depending on the font it is possbile that the font does not allow embedding.
