Hi Rich,
Since you mention distilling with Acrobat is in your workflow, one caveat that I will add to what Laurie said is that you will want to avoid the TTF font format if the font has 16,000+ characters. Acrobat will not be able to distill the PS file created from XPP (if the font is embedded).
GS (Ghostscript) can successfully distill such "large" fonts, but another caveat even with using GS (Ghostscript) to distill is that fonts of the TTF format get "rasterized" by GS distilling and so text in those fonts is not searchable nor selectable (i.e. Copy/Paste won't work).
Our newer Direct to PDF product seems able to generally handle TTF format fonts properly, including the "large" ones.
As far as I know, we've not seen any of these types of "caveats" with Type 1 or OTF format fonts.

Rich, can you share with us the name and origin of the font?
Plus can you keep us updated if it distills OK?
