"Embedding" means that the font is included in the PDF file. Otherwise, the font is only referenced and is required to be present on the viewer or printer. If it's not present on the receiving side, the document can't print correctly. If you want to embed all fonts, you have to create font metric files using PFMReader or TTFReader for each one and create the correct font triples in the configuration file. As soon as you specify a embed-file attribute (embed-url in 0.91 and later), the font will be embedded in the generated file. ATM, there is no easy way. I may get easier later this year when we have an improved font subsystem but ATM, it's a lot of manual work.
If that doesn't help you on your way, please tell us exactly what on the fonts.html page is unclear to you.
