Spent a whole afternoon wrestling with a font that wouldn't embed in a PDF
I needed to send a client a print-ready file, but the custom font kept reverting to a default. Turns out the font file itself had embedding permissions locked, something I never check. What's your go-to fix for stubborn fonts?

Honestly I just convert fonts to outlines before making the PDF. It's a bit more work but you never have to worry about permissions or if the other person has the font. I've been burned too many times by fonts that seem fine but cause issues later. It makes the file a bit bigger but at least it's guaranteed to work. For client work that's just the safe way to go.
