Holy cow, it added 223 MB? I can't see that would have happened. Even if you were using the most advanced version of Adobe Garamond Pro and embedding nearly every character from every font variant (Roman, bold, italic, bold-italic, etc.), I still wouldn't imagine it adding nearly that much.

Suffice it to say, this is not normal.

Anyway, how are you making these PDFs? Are you doing subset embedding or embedding the whole fonts? Using what software?
