Because than you have an implementation that is broken for all the non-Linux 
people who will mostly have fonts installed that don’t allow for embedding 
(like Leonard said) and will automatically be violating licences just by using 
the implementation.

So I think checking is a good idea. A font database seems a hassle, isn’t it 
possible to use these permission bits to find out if you are allowed to embed a 
font?
