Sorry...I misunderstood your original question...the Font Substitution
button is only used when you want to globally replace a font that is MISSING
in your system with one you have...since the offending font you are trying
to get rid of is NOT missing, this won't work.
BUT...I discovered a little workaround (my specialty lol) and it worked.
Here's what I did...I put some text in my Publisher document and used a font
called Felix Titling (yes, I actually seem to have that font LOL)
Then I went to my Windows control panel and double clicked on my Fonts
folder...in there I grabbed my Felix Titling font with my RIGHT mouse button
and dragged it out of the Fonts folder onto my desktop and chose "move here"
(since the fonts folder won't let you cut/paste like other folders)...this
moved it out of my fonts folder so Publisher now saw it as a missing
font....so, I went back into the Publisher document and now the Font
Substitution button was lit up and I easily substituted it...then, when I
was done, I just dragged Felix Titling back into my fonts folder
I know I know..it's weird...but it DID work.

Thanks for the answer. I'm using Publisher 2002.
I had found the Tools --> Commercial Printing Tools --> Fonts path, but
the Font Substitution button is dimmed, even when I click on a font to
select it, and even when I've tried various combinations of choices for
embedding.
Any ideas why this is so?
