unless we declare adobe reader no longer "decent", this definition
doesn't work any more -- adobe only has minion and myriad in the
distribution (plus, i think, courier).

and no-one nowadays imagines you can get away without embedding except
in the context of the most restricted distributions, or where the
precise shape of the glyphs isn't important.
