What error messages and who issues them? TrueType embedding is currently working fine for many users. It has, however, a little deficiency: It lacks the ability to generate an appropriate ToUnicode CMap. Normally, that means that embedded TrueType fonts will get correctly displayed in AcrobatReader but you cannot copy/paste text from the PDF displayed in AcrobatReader because of the missing ToUnicode CMap.
I'm still on the way to become a font-pro but: Identity-H simply maps 1:1 from Unicode to CID (character identifier). Quark probably takes a different approach and numbers the used subset of characters from 0 to n (where n is the number of glyphs in the subset). Therefore, they most probably create a special CMap to encode the text to the correct glyphs. A workaround is difficult to come up with at the moment. I wonder what kind of error messages you get. If it's the missing ToUnicode CMap that causing the problems, then it's probably a matter of implementing support for them.
