Subject: Warn that fonts are not embedded by default
From: jidanni [...] jidanni.org
User searches for the word "embed" and finds only -noembed Disables embedding of the font file. so assumes fonts are embedded by default. Alas it turns out for cjkfonts no embedding is possible, which the user will only find out too late when he is already at the printing company...

Hmm. Some day I'll have to deep dive into the PDF::Builder code and see what makes CJK fonts so different from other (TTF/OTF) fonts, and why they can't be embedded. Ditto for 130040 (can't synthesize a font from CJK). That's assuming that it's not a simple oversight, and that the .data files are still a significant difference.

(Non-embedded looks great at home, no matter what browser, viewer, etc. but once you get to town... surprise surprise :-( ).

Well for anybody reading this, be sure to $ pdftocairo -pdf non_embedded.pdf embedded.pdf before sending your document to anybody important!

I also note that sometimes the (pdfcairo) embedded font version of a PDF is smaller than the non-embedded font version! -rw-r--r-- 1 84267 07-14 19:16 guihua.pdf -rw-r--r-- 1 114732 07-14 19:16 guihua.pdf.non_embedded
