KR Floral Color Me 2 is a free font on this site. It won't embed in a pdf for me. When I try to export the file with this font in it, I get this error message:
KR Floral Color Me 2 :This font could not be embedded due to licensing restrictioins in the font. A substitute font will be used if it supports the glyphs unsed in the restricted font. The PDF will not be created if the glyphs cannot be represented. Will not produce a PDF/X compliant file.
I would gladly buy a different version of this same font if I could find it. All I can find is this free one. I don't understand why it would be made free and not embeddable.
Thank you.

what program are you using?

Look at the KR ReadMe.txt file in the Zip file of the font. It includes the e-mail adress of the creator :
katsfunfonts _AT_ hotmail.com

KR Floral Color Me and KR Floral Color Me 2 were made with Fontographer which had restricted license embedding set as default. For one reason or another or maybe for no reason at all my fellow Kat did not change that.

Janet Golden, KR Floral Color Me 2 is not a free font. It's Free for Personal Use. Every font hosted on DaFont is free to download, install, and view in a word processing application. Whatever else you can do with it for free is dependent on the embedding settings used by the designer, and the terms of the licensing agreement, also determined by the font's author.

Restricting a user's ability to embed a font in a word processing document or .pdf is a common feature in FFPU fonts.

I had no problems making a .pdf from this font without altering the embedding settings. I'm using Windows XP, so you may not be able to do this with your Mac, but you may be able to do something similar. This is what I did:

1) Install font.

2) Open MS Word.

3) Open Character Map. In Windows, Character Map, (charmap.exe), is in C:\Windows\system32, with a shortcut in Start -> Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools.

4) Select desired glyphs in Character Map.

5) Copy selected glyphs; paste into MS Word, (they were at 14.5 point size).

6) Select glyphs in MS Word; select desired point size.

7) Save As -> .pdf.
