embedded fonts are invisible

Hello all:
 
Okay, here's my problem. After a lot of experimenting, reading the mail
archives, and trying different things, I was finally able to embed fonts
into my pdf. But, after the initial joy of my success wore off, I
discovered a new problem. The text that uses the embedded font is
invisible when you cut and paste it into another document. Also,
although it displayed in the pdf on my computer, it would only display
sometimes on a different computer, even though the other computer used
the same version of Adobe Acrobat as mine (although it runs on Windows
XP while mine runs on Windows 2000). 
 
We are running Cocoon 2 on Apache Tomcat 4.0.1. Cocoon is using fop
0.20.3, and the font I embedded is a true type font - Swiss 721 Light
BT. I found some information about a patch by Rafal which addresses this
but it appears my version of fop already has this applied. Could
somebody please help me with this.
 
Thanks a lot, Kyle.

Maybe there are some issues with this for fop 0.20.3 .

See this fresh post on the fop-user list ("dissapearing fonts"):
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=fop-user&m=101525842108332&w=2

There or on fop-dev you will surely find an answer to you problem.
