Of course it does.  Maybe you don't use it or don't know how to do it. But
don't say it doesn't.

I think you are missing the point: it's not simply a matter of the embedded
fonts. If the brand new file format that you are creating wants to attract
users it can never have less features than the one it wants to replace. Or
at least it can not miss critical features.

Even if people want to switch for "political" reasons, I'm sure they don't
want their work crippled...
