Adobe PDF vs. Microsoft XPS

There is a downloadable plug-in that exports Office 2007 to PDF files, but there are reports that Type 1 fonts become low-resolution bitmapped fonts or changed (font substitution) when the Save to XPS or Save to PDF options are used. When I mentioned this to Ford, he said that the Type 1 fonts should be converted to Open Type fonts and become embedded. He added that neither the XPS team nor the Windows team is aware of any of these printing problems and referred me to his blog (http://blogs.msdn.com/adrianford) for more information about all things XPS.
