*NOT* embedding TrueTypeFont in PDF causes AcrobatReader displaying only dots

           Summary: *NOT* embedding TrueTypeFont in PDF causes AcrobatReader
                    displaying only dots
           Product: Fop
           Version: 0.20.3
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: fop-dev@xml.apache.org
        ReportedBy: markusmueller@web.de


When creating PDFs using non-standard fonts we have to create the metric file 
and configure the userconfig.xml. I did so with "embed-file=..." set in the 
font metrics file and everything worked fine. Now I omitted the "embed-
file=..." statement and created a new PDF-file based on the same XSL and XML 
files. The result is not really nice, only dots appear in the PDF file (viewed 
in Acrobat Reader). Also the font properties of the _correct_ PDF file are 
quite unusual: Instead of embedding a TrueType font FOP embeds a TrueTypeCID 
font using "Identity-H"-coding instead of Windows-coding. 

So, how can I get FOP embedding a TrueTypeFont in Windows coding __OR__ what do 
I have to do that the created PDF can be viewed correctly without embedding the 
font? (The font is available on the system where the PDF is viewed).
