Remarks
A PostScript font is always loaded from disk. The metrics of the font are specified in an .afm file (Adobe Font Metrics) and the binary representation of the font is specified in a .pfb file (Printer Font Binary).
The font can be embedded or not in the pdf file. When the font is embedded in the pdf file, the most accurate results are obtained when the file is viewed and printed. The viewer will synthesize the correct appearance of the font based on the embedded data, and the bold and italic modifiers do not have any effect.
If the font is not embedded in the pdf file, the pdf viewer will load the font from the local machine and will use it for display. If the font is not installed on the local machine, then the pdf viewer will use a local font that will match closely the metrics of the font used in the pdf file.
