Font embedding is the ability to include font data within a document, providing control over the appearance of text that the reader sees.
Whatever software you use to create a document; maintaining formatting when sharing files with users on different computers is a headache! Fortunately, for document creators and Web designers, new techniques such as font embedding, font streaming and dynamic fonts bring increased typographic flexibility. Now it’s possible for designers to ensure that end users see their Web site in the desired font, ensuring consistency with a design theme or a corporate brand.
Embedding fonts into any documents or Web sites that allow editing or altering requires an additional licence.
Some licences such as the basic Monotype Imaging font software EULA include the ability to embed fonts into documents to preview and print only. However, some EULAs do not provide this ability - so check your licence terms carefully.
Also, embedding fonts into any documents sold commercially, such as eBooks, eMagazines, eReports, etc. requires an additional licence.
