Woa. Great progress done :-)
BTW, what's UCS2 stand for? UniCode Standard 2, aka Unicode 2.0?

The Document Info Window is great!
For Fonts embebding, maybe using a BCheckBox/BScrollview (like 
you did for the table of key/value in DocInfoWindow) would be better:

cb = new BCheckBox(BRect(....), NULL, FontFile->Name(), etc);
cb->SetFont(FontFile->BFont()); ;-)

This way the font list will *show* the font, not only her(his?) name.
Also, why not only displaying font families only, not all family/face 
combo?

Anyway, that's a great addition to configuration part of the driver...
