how to embed fonts in a PDF?

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2670809/how-to-get-ghostscript-to-use-embedded-fonts-in-pdf

    same metrics, must always be available in all PDF readers and so need
    not be embedded in a PDF. PDF viewers must know about the metrics of
    these fonts." [1]

        pursue word diffs within a line
            --word-diff=color
            --word-diff=plain
            --word-diff=porcelain

So don't need to embed Courier font(s).
