[xep-support] Urgent: Fonts won't embed!

[Kevin Yank]

I need this solved ASAP as our printing company is waiting for us to submit
this PDF...

I'm generating a PDF with XEP 3.2.1. The document uses three custom fonts,
all of which are TrueType fonts, and each of which has several variants, all
declared in fonts.xml with embed="true".

The fonts are correctly used and displayed in the document produced;
however, most of the fonts are not embedded!

The code from fonts.xml is shown below. Here's the information given by
Acrobat when I open the PDF that is produced and choose File -> Document
Properties -> Fonts and then click 'List All Fonts...':

Original Font                Type            Encoding    Actual Font  Type
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chianti-Bold                 TrueType (CID)  Identity-H  Embedded
TrueType
ArrusBT-Roman                TrueType (CID)  Identity-H  Embedded
TrueType
Times-Roman                  Type 1          Windows
ArrusBT-Italic               TrueType (CID)  Identity-H
ArrusBT-Bold                 TrueType (CID)  Identity-H
Monospace821BT-Roman         TrueType (CID)  Identity-H
Helvetica                    Type 1          Standard
Monospace821BT-Bold          TrueType (CID)  Identity-H
ZapfDingbatsITCbyBT-Regular  Type 1          Built-in
Monospace821BT-Italic        TrueType (CID)  Identity-H

As you can see, only 2 of the 7 custom font variants I specified are being
embedded! What am I doing wrong?

fonts.xml code follows...

   </font>

   </font>
