Acrobat is assigning fonts to curves

Are you calling curves vectorized fonts?  They are lines that a program should not be able to assign a letter to and this is done so that anyone can open the file even if they don't have the font in their system.  Fonts are commonly converted to curves so that logos and other images are not distorted by being replaced when the system doesn't have a font that was used.  When I have a logo image that includes lettering that has been converted to curves I absolutely expect to be able to load that image into Acrobat without changing the image.  What I do not expect is Acrobat to assign letters and because they are not the correct font make a mess out of the image when it is saved as a Word file.
