One of the reasons to embed a font is because the default ADE font is worthless. It's only a not that great normal font and ADE manually manipulates it for bold and italics. Bold is OK at best. But the simulated italics just look bad. So an embedded font family will give you true bold and true italics which look much nicer. Also, sometimes it's better to have a specific font such as a handwriting type font instead of a graphic of handwriting.
