Embedding fonts

I am using Acrobat 8 Professional on Windows XP to convert Microsoft Word files to PDF. My question concerns the embedding of fonts under the "Press Quality-Adobe PDF Settings" dialog box's "Fonts" tab. My question: After selecting (with checkmark) "Embed All Fonts" (at the top of the dialog box), is it also necessary to select from "Font Source" the fonts used and then to drag them into the "Always Embed" window?
 
Is not specifying only "Embed All Fonts" enough to assure their embedding?
 
Thanks,

Edwin,

No, you don't need to add fonts in the Always Embed window to have the fonts embedded.
