Thanks for the tips and explanations regarding font-embedding. With this help, I managed to detect the culprit at the last moment. I used "lettrines" which by default uses small caps for the immediately following characters.
In summary, I learned that the capitalised versions of a font (gentium) I generated myself ("texfont ....... --ca=* ....) are not embedded because -- this is my conclusions -- there are only tfm and no corresponding ttf files. Did I use the term "pseudo small caps" incorrectly? I assumed that the version I generated is pseudo because it wasn't expressly designed. That's also how the term is used in the wiki (http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Pseudo_Small_Caps). But there is also the possibility of \cap{}, which simply generates smaller but otherwise normal upper case letters, and which consequently are embedded. Are they both "pseudo"?
