can viewer support fonts in the viewer directory?
I use viewer in portable mode, and i often need a font which is not included in system.
Can I put the font in the viewer directory instead of copy it to C:\windows\font directory?

No. The current version of Viewer can use only system fonts for substitution.
I suggest a much better solution - embed the fonts in the document, so it will look the same on any computer.

Hi unwake,
you are right that the author/creator of the document is the one who must embed the fonts. It is done when the PDF is created. In our Drivers you would select to embed fonts in the Printer Printing Preferences under the "Fonts" category.

Hi again unwake,
I'm not entirely sure I understand your request. We can embed fonts in our products when creating them. This has been a feature of the Print Driver for a long time.

Do you mean by this you embed a font in a PDF file that you did not create?I use acrobat + pitstop to achieve this goal

... as Lzcat says - the Viewer cannot do that. Sorry.
