Let's try this again (and don't worry, I'll type slowly..)
I interpreted Adrienne's statement as meaning that font embedding is
unreliable ... a reasonable interpretation strengthened by the
statement:
"To be honest, if font embedding actually worked ........"
So. As I see it, my comments are completely accurate.
"Font embedding works in IE on a PC all the time unless the facility is
disabled".
I can't make it any simpler than that.
regards.
