The third suggestion is to have your installer program install the
required font(s) on the end user's system. The font(s) will then be
there for your projectors to use. Embeds are really best used with
shockfiles, I think, since they dodge about the install issues. If
possible, don't use embeds.
Since installation generally only takes place when a superuser is
running the system, the installer suggestion works around the
difficulties.
That said, I agree these issues can be frustrating. It would be nice
if the font resources could cache into the same temp location as the
projector's Xtras.

Try coding in C++ sometime.
