It is possible that my piece on embedding SVG fonts in the Cocoon wiki might be apropos: http://wiki.cocoondev.org/Wiki.jsp?page=Embedding_SVG_Fonts This code will prepend scalable font glyphs to a given SVG document, and it only prepends the glyphs necessary for the given document, a benefit when working with large Unicode fonts. I agree that rasterizing is more pricey with embedded fonts, so I just skip this part of the pipeline if I'm rasterizing. In that case, you can be sure that the font is available locally; there's no need to provide embedded glyphs.
