Embedded/embedding fonts

[Bill Weale]

I just learned that fonts have embedding properties which are  
specified by the font publisher. They can be viewed on Windows by  
installing "Font properties extension," which shows several added tabs  
of info that you don't normally see when looking a properties.

Embedding properties apparently control how far and how permanently a  
font can "migrate" into the OS from a document.

Does anyone know if/how this property is handled by 4D Server? Or is  
it handled by the OS? Or is it just "advisory"--a legal notice telling  
you what's not nice? For instance, one value for the embedding  
property is "Installable embedding allowed," which means "fonts may be  
embedded in documents and permanently installed on the remote system."

I'm wondering if this is a way for the app to distribute a font or is  
it just saying it's ok for someone to install it without any license  
issues.

Thanks,

Bill
