Not everyone reads PDF files with the Adobe Reader.

So those fonts are not standard included in the Adobe Reader therefore
not available on _all_ Adobe Reader installations.

I can't read your PDF file with Evince. So where is the advantage, when
people who don't use Adobe Reader with the Asian fonts can't read those
files. Font embedding makes absolute sense for languages with different
