Re: [docbook-apps] How do I embed fonts in a PDF?

Hi Sheldon,
You are confusing the XSL stylesheet parameters passed with --stringparam 
to the stylesheet with the FOP user configuration attributes. The 
"embed-url" is an attribute in the FOP userconfig.xml file.  You will need 
to read the documentation for the version of FOP you are using to see how 
userconfig.xml is modified.  There is no option in the stylesheet 
parameters that controls font embedding.

BTW, if you are using FOP 0.93 or higher, you should be setting 
fop1.extentions to 1 an fop.extensions to 0.  The fop.extensions was for 
FOP version 0.20.5 and is not compatible with FOP 0.93.
