About resolving font duplication in Publisher
If a font that is embedded in a publication has the same name as a font installed on your computer, its status will display as Duplicate in the Load Fonts dialog box. You can then choose whether or not to load the embedded font.
If you load the embedded font, the Windows operating system temporarily installs it on your computer so that Microsoft Publisher can use it to display and print the publication. Loading the embedded font ensures that the text and line spacing in the publication remain as when it was created.
If you do not load the embedded font, Publisher uses the font that is installed on your computer, which could change how the publication looks. Publisher determines whether an embedded font is a duplicate by the font's name. However, two fonts with the same name may be different. For example, if the font on your computer is a PostScript font, it may have different font metrics than the embedded TrueType font. This could result in different text and line spacing than when the publication was created.
