Re: Font Bernadette without license lock ?

Hey

I have made some important merchandice material all using the font Bernadette regular.

Now I find out that the font cannot be embedded to a pdf file.
When I look at the font properties in Acrobat there is a lock on this font saying 'This font's license does not permit embedding'

I have search the net but I cannot find this font anywhere that doesn't have this lock.

Can anyone tell how to unlock it or maybe if someone have this font without this lock.


Hope someone can help.


Fonts that don't permit any embedding are useless. Many fonts are encoded that way because of a bug in Fontographer, where the default was set to "no embedding", and finding the place to change it was a challenge.

There are at least two different font families named "Bernadette".
One, from the extinct WSI/IMSI, is a clone of the text font Bernhard Modern.

Every copy I find on the net allows embedding - for instance, the full family is here, completely embeddable. http://www.allfontz.com/modules.php?name=allfontz&char=B&no=740

The other, from the extinct EnStep, is a script font, is a clone of "Boulevard"

Is your font one of these or something else?

Both of the clones are widely and freely available on the web.

If your font is one of those two, there would be nothing legally or ethically wrong with fixing the flag on the version of the font that you have.

There is a utility that will change the embedding flag on your font:
