Therese,
Thanks for the ideas.
I tried exactly that in FontCreator, but it wasn't so easy,
so I started this thread in the FontCreator forum (if anyone
is interested):
http://forum.high-logic.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=5480&p=24661#p24661
There are answers there from the devs, and those guys are
font experts (of course!).
One of them said,
"For fonts with TrueType based outlines the value should be
a power of 2. Nowadays 2048 units per em value is the best
value for all fonts of any size including large Latin or
non-Latin script fonts.
For fonts with CFF (Postscript) outlines the recommended
value is 1000, but other values should work."
That is curious to me, and makes me wonder if lualatex would
prefer postscript outlines.
I know most of the folks on this list use Linux, but I am a
Windows user - plus, since I am a beta-tester for
FontCreator I get free upgrades for their nice program!
Sometimes the font stuff gets really intricate and
complicated, so most of my testing/suggestions lie in the
way of UI and usability - but FontCreator is an excellent
program.

Dear Brother Gabriel-Marie,
Glad it helped. But I’m afraid I can’t tell you how to
work with FontCreator — I use FontForge on Debian
GNU/Linux. I’m no designer, so I use it mostly to examine
fonts and sometimes to fix a problem; it’s capable of much
more than I’ve yet learned.
I can tell you what I did in FontForge, and maybe someone
else can add information about FontCreator.
Under the “Element” menu, select “Font Info.” In the
window that pops up, select “General,” and then choose
“1000” from the drop-down menu next to “Em Size.” Click
“OK.” Here a warning pops up, “You have just changed the
point numbering of glyph quotesingle. Instructions in
this glyph (or one that refers to it) have been lost.” I
have no idea what that means, and it’s now almost two
o’clock in the morning, so just click “OK.” Then go to
the “File” menu, select “Generate Fonts,” add -ed or -copy
to the suggested name, and click “Save.”
As you experiment, see whether the single quote behaves.
That’s the only thing that concerns me, and since I’ve
never seen such a message before, I haven’t yet searched
the FontForge documentation for it.

Thérèse - THAT IS AMAZING!
That was it!
Now the pdf embeds like it's supposed to!
Now tell me this - how do you adjust setting without
changing the size of the glyphs?
In FontCreator, I have this panel, but if I change the
"units per em" it changes the font size.
I put the panels side-by-side - the original on the
left and the edited one on the right.
I want to figure out how to fix this myself!
Thank you, Thérèse!

Dear Brother Gabriel-Marie,
I don’t have InDesign, so I can’t test this, but I
notice that Priory has an em size of 2048. Anything
other than 1000 often causes problems. I’ve done a
quick job of changing it to 1000 in FontForge; try
the attached and see if it helps.

Oh, I am miserable with this. I've spent hours
and hours.
So I have this font called Priory that I like to
work with.
I'm using Gregorio 2.4.2
This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.76.0-2013052306
(TeX Live 2013/W32TeX) (rev 4627)
But I'm still having InDesign problems.
When I create a pdf using tex and use this font
in that pdf, I can open the pdf just fine.
But if I place that pdf in InDesign (like I do my
chant scores) and export to a new pdf, then I get
this when I try to open that pdf in Adobe Reader
(or Adobe Acrobat):
*B**ut notice - if I create a pdf in InDesign
instead of lualatex and place that pdf in
InDesign and export it, I have no problems with
this font! I only have the problem with
lualatex-created pdf files.*
So THAT is the problem I want to solve,
HOWEVER, when I try to fix it, it causes me
another problem:
This is how it is supposed to look (we are
looking at the title; I added some numbers to the
end so I can tell the font files apart)
So, I tried editing the font to find some way to
make it how lualatex likes. The letters are the
same size as the first version of the font! But
look what happens to them. I can't figure this
out. In any other text editor, the font looks
just right. The font is supposed to look like it
does above. This is with the same tex template, too.
So, I've included my tex file and the compilation
log file - Could someone please look at the log
for me and see if they can tell anything? I've
included my font, too.
Thank you!
