Embedding fonts in an exported PDF

The PDF files that I export from PdfExporter do not show the fonts correctly in MS Edge, but look good in Acrobat. An internet search suggests that the fonts should be embedded in the PDF file for them to be shown correctly in Edge.  Is there an option or combination of options to do this?

We might have done that deliberately, font files were usually copyrighted at the time we created PDF exporter... We'll have in mind an option for next release, in case you'd want to use it with free fonts (e.g. https://developers.google.com/fonts).

In our tests, Edge, Chrome and Firefox all display the fonts referenced from PDF as long as they are installed on the local system. Is there any specific font that's not working for you in that scenario?
