The font embedding takes place when printing to a shared printer. The
spooler does not need to embed fonts when printing on the local machine.
However when printing to a remote printer, the fonts are embedded.
This is of course depending on where the job is formatted. When data is
send between 2 machines with the same OS installed, typically the EMF
data is send to the "print server" where it is formatted to RAW using
the driver. Else the job might get formatted at the "client", and the
RAW data is send to the "print server"

The pointers (SMR_EXTFONT) in the SPL files actually point to the font
data embedded in the EMF files.
