Thanks Bob ...

So on my command line I could do something like this ...

$ xsltproc --output MY.fo \
> --stringparam fop.extensions 1 \
> --stringparam ulink.footnotes 1 \
> --stringparam embed-url 1 \
> --stringparam admon.graphics 1  ./style_pdf.xsl ideal_bartender_g.xml

... right?  Or do I need to set embed-url to some like
file://somepath/that/Ihave/no/clue/somefontfile

Thanks again.
