Today I found the most interesting article on ODF, which explains why it
doesn't support font embedding:

http://blogs.gnome.org/mortenw/2010/02/10/odf-plus-five-years/

ODF was created in a hurry to support text files. Later some people started
to worry about spreadsheets (apparently not that much). Maybe in the future
it will support the features that presentations and vector drawings require.

Only then it will make sense to use ODF as the file format for all OOo/LO
applications.
