Abstract
A method and apparatus are provided for embedding a font subset in an electronic document. The method in one form includes analyzing a document having characters of a font set where characters may have different forms depending on the location of the character in a word or one or more ligatures represent a combination of characters. A font subset is created corresponding to only the character forms present in the document and the font subset is associated with the document. Advantageously, the embedded font subset only contains the font characters which are used in the document and not all characters which may be present in a complete font set for all font sets referenced in the document.
