I want to use a font - Univers 55 - not included with DC.  How do I import this font into DC?

Fonts are not included with Acrobat. Whatever fonts you install on your computer system are “seen” by Acrobat or any other application.

That having been said, you would need to license Univers 55 from a font vendor and install it on your system. Note that in order to be embedded into your PDF file, the font must provide Preview & Print embeddability privileges.

Thank you Dov.  To be clear then, if the font is on my Microsoft Word on this PC, it will automatically show up in Acrobat DC?

    Yes, although the exact font name may appear a bit differently. One exception, though, is that Word allows fonts to be embedded in Word documents, although in practice such embedding is rarely used and the optional feature is not known about by probably 99.99% of Word users. Such Word document-embedded fonts are used within Word when displaying, editing and printing the documents in which they are embedded, but cannot otherwise be seen by other applications.
