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

["Bob Stayton" <bobs@sagehill.net>]

Embedding of fonts is something that the XSL-FO processor does, not the 
stylesheet.   You will need to look at the documentation for the XSL-FO 
processor.  If you are using FOP, you can start here:

http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/0.93/fonts.html#embedding

Font embedding can be done as a post-processing step too.  If you have 
Acrobat Standard, you can use Save As and select PostScript, then use 
Acrobat Distiller to open the PostScript file and save it as PDF again, 
this time specifying that all fonts should be embedded.  That isn't 
something you want to do very often, though.
