That is definitely a design problem. It's quite possible to size the graphic to work well at a common display size, but it doesn't scale with the text and can look poor when displayed on overly large or overly small screens.
The problem with embedding a flourish font is that many readers will fail to use the font with the result in a simple alphanumeric character being displayed using the reader's default font and will just look like some coding error as it will be meaningless.
I would never use an embedded flourish font or other symbol font. If I was concerned about the display of a graphic image of a flourish I would simple use a standard character which is likely to display or an HTML item like a horizontal rule.
