[Acrobat Reader DC + Acrobat X Pro | Fonts DIN] When fonts are not embedded, wrong substitution

Report · Oct 09, 2018

Hello,

I created a PDF with DIN fonts. (DIN Light, DIN Regular, DIN Bold and DIN Medium).

I generated two version: 1-Embedded fonts, 2-No embedded fonts.

Fonts are all installed on my PC.

Problem is about the version with no embedded fonts.

Both Acrobat Reader DC 19.008.20074 and Acrobat X Pro – 10.1.16 do not display properly the document.

Only DIN-Light font is used, the other fonts are replaced by Adobe Sans MM.

PDF Specification is respected. Foxit Reader 9.3.0.10826 display the document properly.

So, it seems that something is not working properly about the association between DIN font family and locally installed fonts.

It looks like as a bug...

Could you help me?

Thank you in advance

Best regards,
