But is that possible?
I thought to embed or not to embed was set once and for all by updmap.
Certainly it needs a super user to run the command so a \write18
command couldn't facilitate it...
I agree with the others: the size of the fonts is negligible these days
and there's no downside to embedding them, always. Perhaps if the fonts
were 2 MB unicode monsters this would be a different story, but they're
not.
Vote 1 for always embed :)
