I'm now encountering the same issue myself, ironically... Any ideas on
possible ways to solve this issue when the fonts are not fully embedded?

That's on my TODO list and I've an already working local version (for TTF [1]
and CFF [2] fonts). I're still some minor issues and I've o clean up the code,
but I guess I'll commit it in a couple of days.
Saying that, both improvements will be part of PDFBox 2.0. No, we don't have
any schedule for the new major version and I'm afraid I won't backport it
to 1.8.x as there are a lot of api-changes.
