[xep-support] Preventing Type 1 fonts from subsetting

[Ken Brooks]

I recently upgraded versions of XEP to version 3.7.1 (from version 3.13)
and have started to get complaints from our printers that although the
PDFs we're supplying pass a Pitstop preflight, they are failing on press
(quite dramatically!) because of font subsetting. When I use the
preflight associated with Acrobat 6.0, the fonts are indeed all
subsetted, although I've set the appropriate attribute in the fonts.xml
file.
 
We're using Type 1 fonts (TrueType fonts have had other spectacular
failures) and need to deliver them fully embedded.  Below is an example
of what we have in the fonts.xml file.
 
<font name="AgfaRotisSerif" afm="D:\fonts\RotisSerifT1\AT641___.AFM"
pfb="D:\fonts\RotisSerifT1\AT641___.PFB" embed="true" subset="false">
          <alias name="Rotis Serif"/>
          <alias name="RotisSerif"/>
     </font>
 
Do you have any suggestions on what I can do about this?
