I recently downloaded a PDF file from montereybayaquarium.org which
turned out to use Weiss, Caslon and Franklin Gothic fonts, none of
which were incorporated in the file.

I've read that for PDF 1.2, the number of fonts assumed to be
"resident" in the target system has been increased from 39 to 100.
It's possible that Weiss, Caslon and Franklin Gothic are in that
list.

But I recently attempted to Save-as-PDF a file using PigNoseType
(a knockoff of Peignot) and Shelley-AllegroScript. There was no
font download with the file, and the interpreter substituted
Courier for both. I can't believe that these fonts are in the
magic 100.

So is PageStream PDF going to be limited to documents using fonts
from that "standard" list? If so, I think we need a copy of that list.
I couldn't find such a list on the Adobe website.
