The "Do you want to include?" option would be awesome. I've been fighting the
same problem for hours trying to find a workable solution. In my case, neither
of the fonts are standard:
$ pdffonts test1*
name type encoding emb sub
uni object ID
------------------------------------ ----------------- ---------------- --- ---
--- ---------
BAAAAA+Arial-BoldMT TrueType WinAnsi yes yes
yes 29 0
CAAAAA+TimesNewRomanPS-BoldMT TrueType WinAnsi yes yes
yes 24 0
DAAAAA+IBMPlexSans-SemiBold TrueType WinAnsi yes yes
yes 34 0
EAAAAA+Free3of9 TrueType WinAnsi yes yes
yes 19 0
IBMPlexSans-SemiBold TrueType WinAnsi no no
no 38 0
Free3of9 TrueType WinAnsi no no
no 36 0
The "xAAAAA+*" form comes from adding some fixed text using the problem fonts.
But the form fields want to refer to the unembedded form of the same font.
Note: I really don't want the fixed text. This is just to show the fonts can be
embedded... just the form fields won't use them (or they won't be embedded
under the name the form fields want... I'd be ok with either one).</pre>
