Why would xdvipdfmx think the Nikosh font is not embeddable, when it's
ok with the Scheherazade? Is it looking at some other field? I don't
think it's reading the entire license agreement :-).
Indeed. :)
I'd expect it to be looking at the fsType field in the OS/2 table:
http://www.microsoft.com/typography/otspec/os2.htm#fst
However, that should allow it to be embeddable. Maybe it's getting
confused because Nikosh has the (relatively rare, I think) "No
subsetting" flag set there? (Just a guess.)
Sounds like it'd be worth filing a bug report on this, as it certainly
looks like incorrect behavior. Perhaps Jiang or Khaled would have time
to track down exactly what's happening here.
