The 'make pdf minimum size' is an Acrobat/Distiller option and only 
one of many that people might choose. It goes right along with 
high-compression terrible resolution compressed jpegs images.

You asked if there's a way to tell what the embedding attribute is for 
a given font. YES!

For Windows, there's an extremely useful free Microsoft font 
properties extension that shows the embedding flag for TTF and OTF 
fonts. When you right-click on a font file (in explorer or in the 
fonts folder) it has nine or ten additional font properties tags you 
can display. Download it here:
