Also, it's highly likely that the publisher knows more about their processes than you (or I) do, so perhaps your suggestion just doesn't work as you think it will on the path from from the desktop to high-end printing presses. | |

Added a point I overlooked

If a publisher wants to change how some font is to be used, they just need to use the right document class, that's it. I would say the publishers are foolishly clinging to a technology that is not designed to do the job. | |

According to Microsoft, there's at least 1.2 billion MS Office users, so a billion Word users is probably not far off the mark actually. | |
