There was some original confusion in a potential loss of quality in truetype/type2 conversions, because of quartic vs cubic spline approximations in the two specifications. When we were concerned that some users may be hit by a loss-of-quality in conversion, we considered making the conversion and subsetting optional. Michael later clarifed that the loss (which happens only in corner cases) would occur in the type3->truetype conversion, and not in the truetype->type3 case we are interested in because type3 uses quartic and truetype uses cubic. Unless there is a good reason to make it optional, I would like to make it as simple as possible and simply do the conversion and embedding every time. This will make support and debugging easier.
