Thanks, that took care of the problem for my Hebrew test case. I have
another with Syriac and the font can't be embedded - and it's TrueType. The
documentation describes the need to use "encoding", "ordering", and
"supplement" Adobe attributes. Do you know where I can read up on that to
try to figure it out?
