The font is mandated by the client; it is a 'corporate' font, they have 
been using it for quite some time, it is part of the corporate style for 
which they paid significant money to a PR agency to develop as part of 
their corporate image.

The PDF files go to  a professional print agency for assembly and 
publication. So being a professional print agency they notice deviations 
from specification.

To Harry; try reading my requirements.
