So to keep things parallel, a plugin loading from a folder, I will assume any embedded fonts are already unobfuscated.
Thanks for the feedback.

You bet. Despite all my other failings--never enough time to do the things I want--I did want to give you feedback on this, as embedded fonts are a specialty area of ours; one of the reasons that the clients that come to us, do so. Believe me, I've tried a dozen ways to shortcut the "twiddly" parts around fonts, but the bottom line is, unless you're working from a print title--which means that the book shan't really change--there's just SFA you can do to facilitate changes that don't then require rebuilding the font folders/files, as obfuscated or subset, etc.
I'm sure that others have a ton of suggestions--and maybe better ones, no argument--but mine are from the day-to-day working grind of dealing with fonts in commercial environments/production.
Happy to be of help, when I'm able. (And I think that
BOTH of us should be taking more time off.)
