In Reader 7, on the Document menu, one of the choices is "use local fonts". What does that mean? I couldn't find anything in Help. Thanks

It means Reader will use the fonts installed on the end users computer. Safe fonts are the best choice.

Thanks for your response but I still am not clear on this. If a form has fields in it, isn't the font determined by the properties set on the field? So were do the local fonts get used? Thanks
