That might be with some of the cheaper, non-Adobe provided fonts, but the really high-end Adobe provided PostScript fonts were engineered for 1200 dpi+, as they were used on the Linotype-type printers and the like. On the other hand, TrueType was engineered to look best at 300/600 dpi.

But yes... Acrobat doesn't imbed some of the massively restricted fonts, but what a great program.
