You don't need to embed Times-Roman because that font is covered by the
Base-14 font package that is perscribed by the PDF standard. The fonts
"Times", "Helvetica", "Courier", "ZapfDingbats" and "Symbol" can always
be considered present in PDF and PostScript. Of course, "Times-Roman"
may not have the same name as "Times" but "Times-Roman" is mapped to
"Times" inside FOP for Compatibility with PassiveTex. So, just remove
the font entries for Times-* and you'll be fine.
