Right. PDFs *should* have the fonts embedded in the PDF by default.
Some fonts will never embedded, because they are flagged as "No
Embedding". And I suppose that people should be able to disable font
embedding if they choose. But I stand by my claim that by default PDF
creator software ought to embed fonts.

Sounds to me
like the PDF is broken.
PDFs should not depend on the fonts being installed in your system.
I thought this is true only if the fonts are embedded in the PDF. It has
happened to me in the past that a PDF would not render and print correctly
until I had installed the MS TrueType fonts.
