atw: Re: New Fonts

Our marketing person was keen to buy a distinctive font for all our 
publications including the technical manuals that I handle. The proposal was 
rebuffed for a few reasons: costs a couple of hundred bucks per seat; our 
manuals go with the technology and get reworked. From my viewpoint I find that 
creating a PDF gives me some tough choices: map the font into the defaults 
(losing the font) or embed (adds to the file size). What have others found? To 
answer your question, one large US company I worked for used the Rotring (like 
the pen) font.
