But that doesn't work with Opera. Indeed, it never even makes it obvious
that there's going to be a problem with viewing it. At least all PDF
viewers will work with embedded fonts.

One doesn't have to purchase Acrobat to create PDFs. There are many free
ways to do it (for example, PDFTeX if you use TeX or printing it to a PS
then using a PS > PDF converter, many of which are freely available on the
Internet.
   On the other hand, I haven't found any free tools for the creation of
Dynamic Fonts.

European countries...
