Font embedding

To embed a font means to incorporate the actual font software - the programming that describes the glyphs - into an electronic document. The document might be a web page, a word processing document, a PDF file, an application, or any other digital file. In this section we've listed the most popular categories of documents (nine of them) and used the standard four levels of embedding.

"None" means that the EULA disallows embedding of the font in any manner in this type of document.

Installable embedding means that this type of document may install the font on a computer on which the document resides.

Editable embedding means that the font may be used in editing this type of document, but the font may not be installed on a computer on which the document resides.

Print and Preview embedding means that this type of document may use the font only for display and printout. It may not be used for editing nor may it be installed on a computer on which the document resides.

Note that instances of the Font Embedding section are neither mandatory nor exclusive. Multiple instances of the Font Embedding section may exist in an EEULAA. It may specify one level of embedding for commercial use, a different level for non-commercial use, and yet a third for a single user, for instance.
