Embedded font problem in Outlook

Hi,
Could anyone tell me what is kerning in embedded font used for? As, I mentioned before I still have a problem with the pdf created by FOP and sent by Outlook. For example, if I attach a pdf in my yahoo personal e-mail and try to open up the pdf with outlook is ok, otherwise if I'm using Outlook to attach the same pdf and open up the pdf with outlook, the pdf is corrupted because of embedded fonts. If I'm not using embedded fonts, the pdf is ok in both cases. How can I set up my Outlook to recognize the embedded fonts from pdf? The error are : "There was an error processing a page . Too few operands."
When I checked the document fonts for the pdf I've got Original Font= 2E58a3ArialNarrow, Bold
                                                       Type = TrueType (CID)
                                                       Encoding = Identity-H.
Am I doing something wrong in embedding file attached? Or maybe the ttf file is not good. I've generated font xml file with TTFReader

Thanks a lot

I don't know if this is your problem but I had several problems using
CID encoded fonts. Adobe Acrobat complained and refused to open
the document. As a last ditch effort, I tried to produce Win ANSI encoded
fonts and the problems went away. TO do this create your font.xml files
using the -enc ansi option of TTFReader.  Note: My problem was not
really occurring when I was embedding fonts, only if I tried to reference
the font files (i.e. no embedFile="" in the font declaration), although if
I embedded the font I was having non consistent results from printer
to printer.
