1. Each site essentially possesses its own "identity"... its own niche...
2. What kind of "font-oholics" do you wish to attract?
Fonts101 was my very first introduction to searching for a specific font... so, I have a soft spot for the site... but a growing number of folks were asking for types that had just been released hours previous on myfonts... a bit silly, really...
I do not mean to be critical of those that look for cute types for simple craft work or party invitations (those types are an important part of any collection)... but a huge percentage of requests over that past few months were for these cute types... while few were requesting types such as from Lumin from Typotheque, as an example...
It is challenging to weave a somewhat clear path of the "identity" Font101 should play... this is not a challenge for any single "leader", but rather, for the masses/members of the forum...
And, at the end of the day, if the members are more largely looking for "cute types" or "professional publishing types", or anything in between, or all of the above... then the "market's voice" will be voiced and heard...
Finally, this PM alternative is a bit cumbersome... adding a few steps, but also, I tend to loose sight of who has what, and who to PM, etc... a long-term alternative is to switch software front-end to allow for hidden links, etc...
Anyway, hope this helps to stimulate a dialogue...

I actually possess a fairly large collection of JNL fonts... and as I've discovered here, it seems others do as well...
Thanks for your hunting... I recently tripped into some free fonts that are similar to those from Andinistas... so... (you know)...

hope this helps
... i even took an original Myriad Pro Regular, and renamed internally to the SC700 variant ( here )... but acrobat still doesn't recognize it... and illustrator recognizes the new font, but still converts it to outline...
maybe a mac version with the above test will be better ?
But indeed the page is importable to illustrator, and maybe a real simple solution is to simply retype the text that is messed up... the pic and smaller text seems okay on this end...
Let me know...
1. Acrobat and fonts are very specific... it seems that the original pdf was embedded with a specific language variant of Myriad Pro (SC ?)... so even though you have Myriad pro... its not the same myriad pro... i am unaware that Acrobat can internally substitute fonts... but windows can...
2. Have no clue whether this will work with acrobat, but windows has a "regedit" key called FontSubstitutes:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\FontSubstitutes
you might try subing the SC version with the one that is installed on your system...
let us know if it worked or not, and well try to think of something more creative... if you can, you might contact your friend to see if he/she has the original font files... i'll search as well...
