"Ask Jeremias" Good name for a company. :-) Anyway, as far as I can tell you can omit the embed-file for Type1 fonts if the name under which the font is registered matches a font that is registered in your operating system's font subsystem. For TrueType this doesn't work because currently FOP does something wrong with the (multibyte) character encodings. It may work if you're using an 8 bit encoding though I haven't tested. This encoding problem is fixed in Foray where omitting "embed-file" might work, though I haven't tested either.
I've used non-embedded Type1 fonts so the PDF/PS file sizes stay small for high-volume processing. The fonts were installed directly in the printer's RIPs.
