Keiron,
I understand the conservative motivation here. But suppose I'm generating PDFs
for an intranet app (as it happens I am) and have complete control over which
fonts are on the user machines. Well, in that case I do not want
PDFDocumentGraphics2D's constructor looking at textAsShapes and deciding to
instantiate a FontInfo class that uses a FontSetup class that effectively is used to
restrict
which fonts I can use.

Where does the FOP embedding font technique get its fonts? Do you have to give FOP a
path to where to find fonts to embed? Or can it get them from Java AWT font calls and
then
serialize them into a format to put in the PDF? Or do you have to put the fonts right
into the
XSL FO document for FOP to find there?
