[poppler] Fwd: Too many fonts embedded in a document?

[Alex Korobkin]

Sorry all, looks like it is not a regression. After compiling all the
versions of poppler between 0.18 and 0.23, I finally noticed that the
original machine with 0.22.3 had a pack of licensed TTF fonts installed.
The machine with 0.18.4 doesn't have it, hence the difference.

All in all, the font SimSun (15 Mb) is embedded into final PostScript file
~80 times. Is it possible to embed just a single copy of it, or just a
subset of required characters?  -passfonts and -noemb options didn't help.
