Embed fonts

To enable or disable the warning for fonts that cannot be embedded

Font embedding can help you share drawings so that others can view, print, and even edit them without having to install or substitute fonts. By default, CorelDRAW embeds the fonts that are used in a drawing when the file is saved, but you can choose to disable font embedding for that particular drawing. For more information, see To save a drawing. You can change the default option for embedding fonts in drawings.

Note that CorelDRAW respects the embedding permissions of each font. Some fonts allow embedding for print and preview purposes, but not for text editing; other fonts may not allow embedding. The following font embedding permissions are respected by CorelDRAW:

• Editable — allows fonts to be embedded in electronic documents and used by the recipients of the documents to edit the text.
• Installable — similar to Editable. In addition, this permission allows fonts to be permanently installed on a recipient’s computer and used to create new documents.
• No Embedding — does not allow fonts to be embedded in electronic documents
• Preview and Print — allows fonts to be embedded in an electronic document strictly for previewing and printing purposes. Such fonts cannot be installed and used to edit the document on other computers.

If a drawing contains fonts that cannot be embedded, a warning is displayed. You can disable this warning.

You can import files that contain embedded fonts. If an embedded font does not allow editing, a visual indicator appears next to the font name in the Objects docker. When you try to edit text that uses this font, you are prompted to choose a font substitution. For more information, see Substitute fonts.
