This makes a lot of sense indeed.

I occasionally encountered problems with non-embedded fonts in
Japanese data sheets. They are written in English with Roman glyphs
from a Japanese font. In some cases it's helpful to have the East
Asian fontpacks from Adobe installed.
There are also data sheets I can only view on Windows but not on Linux
and didn't find out what's missing. When I encounter such a file
again, maybe you or Akira can give me a hint.
Regards,
Reinhard

Microsoft isn't the answer. Microsoft is the question, and the answer is NO.
