But there's the case when a document is distributed or transferred 
electronically: you want to make sure any recipient of the document 
will be able to view or print it, and that the printout will be exactly 
identical to what you created on your computer (i.e. no replacement of 
Times by Times New Roman, of Helvetica by Arial, etc., as Adobe Reader 
does, for example). For this I think embedding of any font is the only 
way.
