Font embedding refers to the ability to embed font files into a document. This has been a feature of Microsoft Word and some other applications for many years. It is controversial because it can potentially allow copyrighted fonts to be freely distributed.

Font embedding in word processors

Microsoft Word has permitted font embedding since Word 97.

Font embedding on the Web

Currently, only Internet Explorer and Safari support font embedding.
