Remarks
These fonts, or their font metrics and suitable substitution fonts, must be available to the consumer application. The character sets and encodings for these fonts are listed in Appendix D of PDF Reference 1.7. The Adobe font metrics (AFM) files for the standard 14 fonts are available from the ASN Web site. For more information on font metrics, see Adobe Technical Note #5004, Adobe Font Metrics File Format Specification.

Ordinarily, a font dictionary that refers to one of the standard fonts should omit the FirstChar, LastChar, Widths, and FontDescriptor entries. However, it is permissible to override a standard font by including these entries and embedding the font program in the PDF file. (See implementation note 62 in Appendix H in PDF Reference 1.7.)

Note Note
Beginning with PDF 1.5, the special treatment given to the standard 14 fonts is deprecated. All fonts used in a PDF document should be represented using a complete font descriptor. For backwards capability, viewer applications must still provide the special treatment identified for the standard 14 fonts.
