By default, FOP embeds every TrueType font as a CID subset, even in 0.94.
But as Justus already mentioned there have been bugfixes since then
which should improve the situation (namely problems with PDF viewers
other than Acrobat Reader). So if pdffonts indicates that the whole font
is embedded that might or might not be caused by the bugs mentioned
above. It could also be a limitation of the PDF implementation.
