[xep-support] Embedded Type 1 fonts - again

[Werner Donné]

Beste Els,

In the font element example I see you assign a PFB file to the pfa attribute
instead of the pfb attribute. If you did a cut and paste, the fonts.xml file
will contain the same error. Did you also place the PFB files in the XEP/afm
directory, because that is where your example expects them to be?

Regards,

Werner.
