SYMPTOMS
When you try to embed fonts in a document that is in one of the programs that are listed in the &quot;Applies to&quot; section, Adobe OpenType fonts that have the .otf extension are not embedded.



CAUSE
This issue occurs because the programs that are listed in the &quot;Applies to&quot; section do not embed fonts that have the .otf extension. The programs that are listed in the &quot;Applies to&quot; section only embed fonts that have the .ttf extension.



WORKAROUND
To work around this issue, use only fonts that have the .ttf extension in documents in which you intend to embed the fonts.



MORE INFORMATION
The Adobe OpenType format is an extension of the TrueType SFNT format that supports Adobe PostScript font data and new typographic features. Adobe OpenType fonts that contain PostScript data have an .otf extension. However, TrueType-based OpenType fonts have a .ttf extension.
