Editing a PDF that uses Times New Roman Bold

Most PDFs embed only the letters they already use. Type a new letter and many editors either refuse or swap in a different font. Times New Roman Bold 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.
