Adding and removing fonts
Acrobat provides a default font folder for Distiller to monitor. You can also add your own
font folders. If a PostScript file that Distiller is converting refers to a font but does not
contain the font itself, Distiller looks in these folders for the font information.
By default, fonts are searched for in the following Windows folders:
● \Resource\Font in the Acrobat folder
● \Windows\Fonts
By default, fonts are searched for in the following Mac OS folders:
● /Resource/Font in the Acrobat folder
● /Users/[user name]/Library/Fonts
● /Library/Fonts
● /System/Library/Fonts
To add or remove a font folder:
1. In Acrobat Distiller, choose Settings > Font Locations. The dialog box displays a list of
the folders that Distiller searches for fonts. These folders can be on your hard drive or on a
network.
Distiller indicates that a font folder is available by displaying a folder icon to the left of
the folder name. If no icon appears, or if an icon with an x through it appears with a folder
name, the connection to the folder has probably been lost. You'll need to reestablish the
connection.
2. To add a font folder, click Add, select the folder to add, and click OK (Windows) or
Select Folder (Mac OS).
Note: To provide Distiller with access to a font folder that has been moved, use this dialog
box to remove the folder listed in its old location and add it in its new location.
3. To remove a font folder, select the folder, and click Remove.
4. Select Ignore TrueType Versions Of Standard PostScript Fonts to exclude TrueType fonts
that have the same name as a font in the PostScript 3 font collection.
5. Click OK.
