Has anyone tried to create a PDF using one of Microsoft's new fonts that
are designed especially for on-screen display?  I downloaded a font
called Verdana from Microsoft's type foundry Web page (sorry I don't
have the URL) and it looks crisp and clear on screen from within Word,
but I haven't seen a PDF built with it.
