It would be helpful to have a definition for:
* standard fonts
the 14 fonts listed in the PDF Reference that must be built into any decent PDF viewer, so it's not mandatory to embed them into PDF files. These are Times-Roman, Helvetica, Courier, ZapfDingbats...
unless we declare adobe reader no longer "decent", this definition doesn't work any more -- adobe only has minion and myriad in the distribution (plus, i think, courier). and no-one nowadays imagines you can get away without embedding except in the context of the most restricted distributions, or where the precise shape of the glyphs isn't important. robin
