Font Requirements - Subset Embedding
To ensure that the dissertation displays correctly, even if the local computer does not know the font, we require subset embedded fonts for all PDFs and Supplemental Files. Subset embedding ensures that the PDF only "knows" that part of the font set that it uses, thereby reducing the size of the PDF.
Check to see if your subset embedding worked.
- open the PDF
- under the file menu, choose properties
- each font should indicate subset embedding
