I, too, have been having the same problem. I recently wrote a 300-page book. I tried to upload it to Barnes & Noble, but it wouldn't take it because the fonts in the PDF weren't embedded. (Amazon's set-up automatically embeds them for you.) So, when I checked to see what the problem was, it was the ArialMT font, which stymied me, because I wrote the entire thing in Bookman Old Style. I combined two PDF sections together for the completed book -- the first nine pages with the title page, copyright info, table of contents, etc., and then the actual book, beginning with the first chapter. I was able to narrow the problem down to the first nine pages. Your comment about bullets was the lightbulb moment for me. At first, I thought, "But, I don't have any bullets!" Then, I remembered that I did -- I had mentioned three points in my Preface, and I numbered them 1, 2, 3. There you go. Once I took care of that, no more problem. That'll be good to remember, as I am pretty certain this won't be the only time I'll have to mess with it. Thanks.

Wow, I'm glad you figured out that issue, Pippin. This just prompted me to show my new coworker what was going on with that and we ran a test on our standard report. Same issue, unexpected ArialMT showing up in the PDF. When we pared it down to a few pages with bullet points, still there. So then manually replacing the bullet points with a tab, round filled-in symbol, and tab (which could easily be made into a macro to replace the existing ones I guess) did the trick.

Fortunately none of our clients, nor the municipality that originally flagged the unapproved fonts, has since raised this issue again. But at least we know what to look for.
