Hi,
Type 3 font is used in one of my client supplied PDF.
Can anyone suggest if we retain the Type 3 fonts to proceed to go printer. Or is this risk? Please confirm.
Thanks,
Santhosh

I do not see any risk. A type 3 font exists only inside the PDF; it does not match any font file. It's actually a collection of graphics arranged into a font; we can see that this might be a good way to do mathematical formulae. Type 3 fonts are normal and standard, and should work in every PDF viewer or printer; there seems no reason at all to reject them.
