Re: [docbook-apps] embedding fonts in generated pdf

Not as illiterate about fonts as I am. But see Tom's contribution.
Personally I use the Gentium Plus font and embed subsets as required 
rather than the entire font set.  (I need some 'strange' symbols fairly 
regularly.)  Gentium Plus is only in regular and italic at present, but 
bold and bold-italic will be with us shortly.
