Editing a PDF that uses Georgia
Most PDFs embed only the letters they already use. Type a new letter and many editors either refuse or swap in a different font. Georgia is not freely available, so MythosPDF first uses every letter already embedded in your PDF. If a new letter is missing, it asks before using the closest open font listed here, and tells you which one it used.

+Can I edit a PDF that uses Georgia without having it installed?
Yes. Where a PDF lacks a letter, MythosPDF can use a font with identical widths, so the layout does not move, and it tells you it did.
