I had just this very problem. I solved it by opening the source Word document, click STYLES to show all the paragraphs, click on NORMAL (the 'root' style, so to speak, as I understand), click MODIFY and change the font to one that is used elsewhere, and whichn you _want_ embedded in your pdf. The font showing in the Normal style, in my document, was the font that kept coming up in my pdf, and which was not actually used for any text. But also do a search and exchange, looking for instances of the rouge font. You can make Word search for fonts by typing ctr-h, them click more/special/format/font, and chose the one you want to look for. You can automatically change it for one you do want by doing all that again, with the cursor in the 'replace with' window.

Why do unused fonts appear in a PDF

I am creating a PDF file and several unused fonts appear embedded i
the PDF. I have tried several PDF creators and get the sames font
(e.g. why embed Century Schoolbook?). So they must be getting th
information from Word
However, I have searched the document (all in Times New Roman) usin
the font search and there is no century schoolbook anywhere.

It must be in the document.
It must be in the document. Have you checked all the styles are correc
including any blank paragraphs you may have entered to create spacing? Ar
you sure that none of the styles are based on a style using a differen
font
Why are you embedding fonts into the PDF? How are you able to confirm tha
Century Schoolbook is embedded

I agree that it must be in the document (the file), but it does no
necessarely have to be in the text itself. One could define a style usin
the font and never apply the style. When converting to pdf, it is likel
that the unused style, and thereby (part of) the font, will be included i
the pdf
In Acrobat, you can just do File -> Properties (CTRL+D) and go to th
'Fonts' tab. It shows which fonts are embedded (mostly subsets)

I have no footnotes. I have selected the entire document and the fon
text box shows times new roman, rather than a blank as when multipl
fonts are selectged
PDF creators do it automatically. If you inspect the PDF's propertie
you can see the fonts and that Century Schoolbook is there.
If one of the styles is set as Century Schoolbook and you change the fontsby
If one of the styles is set as Century Schoolbook and you change the font
by SelectAll and do a global font change, this is not changing the style
You have applied Direct Formatting, so the underlying style is still set a
CSB. As an illustration, if you SelectAll and execute Ctrl+Q an
Ctrl+spacebar, it will remove ALL direct formatting and display all th
underlying styles

Did you check all the styles or only the ones you used in your document?

Like I stated in an earlier reply, an unused but defined style could be
causing the font to be included.
Try the following. Save your document as a Word 2007 document, i.e. with the
docx extension. Now, close Word, go to the file and change the extension to
zip. Open the archive and browse to the 'word' directory inside. Check the
file 'fontTable.xml' to see if the Century Schoolbook font is listed there.
If not, check 'styles.xml' file. If the font is listed in any of those, the
pdf creation will include it.

Interesting. I can see where it is coming from. It looks like word
creates an internal character style for linked styles. I can see the
font in one of these. In this particular case it is the 'QuoteChar"
style, part of the built in Quote style. I have disabled linked styles
in document.

Another interesting thing...The actual font is Century Schoolbook Bold
Italic. In this document the Quote style is set to use Times New Roman
(Roman).
Makes me wonder if Word loses track of the character part of a linked
style.
