- **Missing:** embedding, substitution or outlining of unembedded fonts in placed PDFs; export
does not automatically embed or outline them.
- **Have:** PDF/X-4 export warnings and `validate-pdf` report unembedded fonts drawing visible
text, including inside placed PDF forms, with font names and pages (#909). Invisible text
(render mode 3) is exempt from this font-embedding check. A document-wide operation limit and a
form-nesting depth limit report incomplete font checks rather than traversing pathological
nesting.
