In a Perfect World (Adobe Acrobat Ed.)

So I'm reading about 'Reembedding Fonts in a PDF':

"In a perfect world, all parties which contribute to a regulatory filing would properly embed fonts. Unfortunately, we don’t live in a perfect world . . . there are times when you may need to embed fonts as a post process."

    I'm intrigued. Does your perfect world not allow us to specify typefaces? Or am I missing something?

    You're missing something.

    Specifying a typeface should be an option and not a requirement. The notion that you actually have to do something special -- embedding a font no less -- just to produce a crummy PDF seems overly bureaucratic and messy.
