+We attempt to configure the 'gropdf' output driver with a maximal set of
+features, including the embedding of Type 1 font files into PDF
+documents. If those font files cannot be located, they cannot be
+embedded. Moreover, PDF viewers are only required to provide 14 fonts
+internally; all other fonts _require_ embedding, and the current version
+of the PDF standard recommends that _all_ fonts be embedded. The
+notices emitted when you run the 'configure' script will warn if test
+failures are expected.
