If you're embedding a TrueType font in a PDF and use that, you lose the
ability to copy from the PDF to the clipboard. That's because Acrobat
cannot extract the text because FOP does not generate a particular table
that is needed for that to work. I assume this will also affect
searching. This also affects 0.92beta.

Documented here:
http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/0.20.5/fonts.html#embedding

So, if you need text searching functionality, try to work without a
TrueType font and use a Type1 font instead. But I guess you may then
have problems with certain spanish characters. It's unknown when this is
going to be fixed. We have a patch for FOP Trunk/0.92 but we have to
sort out IP issues first.
