AFAIK, the entire font is embedded in the PDF. On o/s independence, yes, that is the whole theory behind PDF. There are occasional differences between PDF viewers that might be though of as platform-related, but in general, PDF is intended to be platform- and device-independent, and in practice seems to work pretty well. > Is it possible to create a PDF file with FOP which just describes a > character by its unicode representation and the corresponding > glyph to display the > character is loaded from one of the available fonts from the > computer where the > pdf file is viewed?

The risk is that if the font is not on the other system or is different, it may not look as intended. BTW, you will get faster and better responses to questions like this on the fop-user list, or, better yet, on a PDF list.
