      I have an IDD document which contains only Open Type fonts. When I write the PDF they show as True Tyoe. Any ideas?

      Good question, Barry. This is normal. OpenType fonts can come in various flavors, but many are “truetype inside opentype.”

      More importantly, the font that is embedded inside a PDF is usually a special subset of the font that InDesign generates when making the PDF… it’s not the real font anyway. That sounds scary, but it’s fine… it’s what InDesign has done for 20 years.
