The code has grown. At first, there was WinAnsi embedding only, after
that TrueType subset embedding was implemented. This should have fixed
the whole issue if it hadn't been for the nasty encryption bug (which is
a problem of the PDF library, fixed in CVS HEAD). So people need to
fall back to WinAnsi-style embedding where nobody cared to implement
subset embedding for, because WinAnsi embedding is extremely easy to
implement in comparison with Unicode subset embedding.

I hope this answers your question.

As I indicated in http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=21303
(thanks, Markus, for looking it up for me) there's a work-around
involving third-party PDF encryption tools.
