Ok, clear. Suppose i have a font that does allow me subset embedding in a pdf file, but not full embedding. So far i have found out the following: (I use FOP with CID-keyed embedding.) Then, judging from the file sizes, it seems that that produces subset embedding (many more symbols = much larger files). But the Adobe Reader properties suggest that it's full embedding. Who can clearify this mystery?
