    I have been using a font (bundled) with my applications for many years. Today I got an email from a customer, stating that the font was locked, and their Adobe pdf printer wouldn't print it. I searched the web, but came up empty on how to unlock a font file. Any ideas?

      I think you just ran acrossed a bogus error message. I've never heard of it. You might want to contact Adobe to see if they know why it would say that.

        My customer sent a copy of the Adobe (distiller?) window. It clearly shows my two fonts with a yellow 'lock' icon. It also says: "Only fonts with the appropriate permission bits will be embedded"
