The simple fact that a new font descriptor from a not infinite set  
gets used up by \newfontface or \newfontfamily.

No. Except, maybe, help people understand that \newfontface and  
\newfontfamily are very efficient and should be preferred,  
particularly because they allow to reuse earlier definitions. (And I  
also presume then a font is only embedded once in the PDF output  
while otherwise there is no guarantee to determine that the same font  
gets used x times, so that it gets embedded these x times.)
