Some difficulties may occur

Could not embed font

Not all TrueType fonts can be embedded. Font creators can set different options for their fonts, such as: Unable to Embed, Preview / Print, Editable, and Installable.

Some fonts can be very large in size compared to others, so if file size is a concern to consider, use other fonts instead.
