.PP
Keep in mind that only font metrics (widths) are provided with PDF::Builder;
the fonts themselves are provided by the reader's machine (often packaged
with the operating system, or obtained separately by the user). To use a
specific font may require you to obtain one or more files from some source.
.PP
If a font (typeface and variant) is not available on a given reader's
machine, a substitution \fImay\fR be automatically made. For example, Helvetica is
usually not shipped with Windows machines, and Arial might be substituted.
For most characters, the glyph widths will be the same, but this can not be 
guaranteed!
.PP
PDF::Builder currently uses the [typeface].pm files to map glyph names to
code points (single byte encodings only) and to look up the glyph widths for
character positioning. There is no guarantee that a given font file includes
all the desired glyphs, nor that the widths will be absolutely the same, even
in different releases of the same font.
