"Unable to extract embedded font" message

["Levy, Alane" <al...@cognex.com>]

When I open a PDF file with an embedded font generated out of FOP, Acrobat
Reader 5 displays the message "Unable to extract the embedded font '<font>'.
Some characters may not display or print correctly." We have tried this on
several different systems, and the same message always appears. When I click
OK in the message dialog, the font displays and prints fine. Has anyone else
experienced this? Is there a way to prevent the message from appearing,
since there is nothing actually wrong with the file?

This is a known bug in FOP 0.20.5. Fonts won't embed properly when 
encryption is used in the PDF. FOP 0.20.5 is over 3 years old, if 
possible upgrade to FOP 0.91. I think this bug has been fixed, but 
report back if you still have trouble.

I've been having this same problem. Not to suggest that this is always 
the cause, but I was running FOP (0.20.5) standalone and passing the 
-noedit parameter. When I removed the -noedit parameter and made no 
other change, the font embedded correctly. When I added -noedit 
back, the font again failed to embed.

You're failing to embed the font in the file, but it displays/prints 
fine because you already have the font installed. If you opened 
the document on a machine without the font installed, you would see 
some other font or bullets.
