Sage uses the Amyuni driver to create PDFs. Unfortunately, Sage isn't embedding fonts into the PDF. Therefore, those of us that use TTF non-standard fonts in our reports, invoices and statements end up sending documents that look terrible to our end users. Printing to PDF, using the built in windows PDF printer, does embed fonts, however this isn't an option when using Sage to send the reports via email or by clicking the PDF creation button.

Amyuni has the capability to embed the fonts, and enabling it is rather easy in the API documentation. For those of us who have WordMarks, not logos, this is a very needed enhancement and it should be low hanging fruit for a developer. This should be standard practice as embedding fonts in PDFs is not new.
