Macromedia Fontographer
As the creator of a font program, "Tom 7" is allowed to set those bits however he wants.  Unfortunately, one of the leading font creation programs, Macromedia Fontographer, does not have that capability.  In fact, Fontographer creates _all_ TrueType fonts with improper embedding information.

Different Levels of Font Embedding
OpenType and TrueTypefonts include permissions defined by the original publisher of the font to detail when and how a may be embedded in a document. The OpenType and TrueType specifications define four primary levels of font embedding:

·      Print and preview fonts can be embedded in a document, provided the user reading the document cannot edit the content of the document.

·      Editable fonts can be embedded within content that can be edited by the user.

·      Installable fonts within a document may be permanently installed by the user reading the document or a client application. In practice, installable fonts are treated like editable fonts by most client applications.

·              No embedding permissions prevent fonts from being embedded in a document.are used by a small proportion of available fonts.

You'll find a free Microsoft utility that can change embedding levels, but only to make it MORE restrictive.

This application is for those who have a little bit of time on their hands (or not..) and is the next logical step to SETI@Home and the likes: Social farming! Don't use idle computers, use idle users!

The goal of the game is easy enough: solve the puzzle with the best possible solution while competing with fellow players to earn points. The twist? By solving the puzzle you're actually helping scientists figure out the shape of proteins and by doing so identifying their function.

The usual approach would be to use supercomputers to evaluate how a protein is folded but there are so many degrees of liberty that only a small fraction of all possible solutions can be explored... and humans do sometimes come up with better solutions!
