font are always embedded but subsetted which is quite normal; the
only reason for full embedding is that they want to tweak your text 
afterwards which is not what you want (given that they have the apps
to deal with it).
protruding and adjusting is not related

It might also be, that they want to comply with PDF/A ...

As far as I can tell, that seems to demand fully embedded fonts. As
inconvenient as it might be, it's at least an ISO standard :D
a slight complication (which as usual results in a few hours work) is 
that we need to trigger this pretty soon in a run and as such it can 
become only a commandline option

a next release will provide

--directives=fonts.embedall

but first i (read: taco) need to figure out why setting the embedding 
flag in a tfm table does not work out as expected
