For me, working in a publishing house, the need to embed all fonts is 
crucial. When we send documents (books) to the printing shop, they do a 
preflight first. If all fonts are not embedded, they reject the 
documents.

That's why I had to learn about ``sudo updmap --setoption 
dvipsDownloadBase35 true'', etc., before Gerben Wierda had the Include 
option in i-Installer.

Best,
