Note however, that the Helvetica Type 1 (or any other format for that matter) font family is not bundled with either Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat (and hasn't been since Acrobat 4 many years ago). Thus, the 2023 announcement doesn't affect Acrobat (or Reader)!!! Type 1 fonts are an integral part of both the PDF and PostScript specifications. To clear up a misconception, Acrobat is absolutely not ending support of Type 1 fonts. ![]()
