hey

i believe objavi already processes the pdf through gs to embed all fonts
(necessary if you want to upload pdfs to lulu.com and other print on
demand services as they will not accept PDF without *all* fonts used in
a document being embedded - including the 10 default fonts embedded)

so maybe the command in objavi can be changed...if so please check that
the embedding still works as needed :)
