Ahh yeah, that doesn't mean it doesn't work though. You can reference fonts [1], but you'll need them installed if you want to view them. Alternatively you could either 1) buy the license or 2) uhm *cough* change the bit flag which tells Fop the font is not embeddable [2] *cough*... Woahh that was an informative cough!
Obviously any changes you make to the font are ill advised in a commercial setting, but may help you test the font before purchasing it.
