Base14 fonts are built into PDF and all viewer applications can display these fonts. An application can get a Base14 font handle any time by invoking doc:GetFont(). PDF files which use base14 fonts are smaller than those which use other type of fonts. Moreover, PDF processing is faster because there is no need to load external fonts. However, Base14 fonts are only able to display the Latin-1 character set. To use other character sets, an application must use other fonts.
The following are built-in Base14 fonts. They are available in every PDF viewer:
