[xep-support] embedding fonts in PDF -- adding embed="true" seems not to work for base fonts!

Yes!

A Type1 font consist of two parts, the metrics and the outline.  
Helvetica.afm is the metrics (Adobe Font Metrics); to embed the font,  
you'll need the outline too. Get a matching outline somewhere, and add it  
to your system and to your configuration.
