Other fonts may be rejected by the utility because coding problems have been identified. WEFT has a feature which checks the embeddability of all the fonts installed on your system. Use this feature to pick embeddable fonts before starting work on a project. The 'View Available Fonts' option analyzes the fonts installed on your system and reports their embedding permissions.
