Is There a Reason Why Apple Doesn’t Include the “Embed Font” Feature On Pages?

For indie authors, Macs don’t have the ability to embed font, which is required by KDP/Amazon. I understand Word has that feature, but I prefer Pages. Any way to get Apple to include that feature?

The only options for embedding font on a Mac (that I know of) is using Word or Adobe. I prefer to use Pages, and Adobe is very expensive, so my reason is “convenience.”

    Pages DOES embed fonts when you export as a PDF. You can check this using Adobe Acrobat. I think Reader also, though I don't have that installed to check.

    The option missing is to NOT have the fonts embedded.

    In Terminal you can use this to see which fonts are inside a PDF file:

    strings /path/to/my.pdf | grep -I FontName

    It just looks through the file for any lines that have the text "FontName" in them.
