Embedded editable font don't work

[Guest]

Hi there,

I have a problem with embedding an editable font into a word document. The
font allows editing on computers where it is not installed. When I embed the
font into a word document and send it to someone who hasn't the font on his
computer, he is able to see the font the first time he opens the document.
After making saving the document on his computer the embedded fonts are gone.
Is there a possibility to keep the font embedded after saving the document,
e.g. after some changes?

Thank you for any help,
Marco

Try saving the document to his computer BEFORE he makes the changes.

Make sure you have embedded the WHOLE font, not just a subset.

I guess you are sure that the font in question allows "installing" as well
as "embedding"?

Other than that, I don't know what to suggest...
