I checked, and the Flatpak version has Poppler 25.10 as backend. Not sure about
the current Windows version, but I think the workaround worked there too.

I have a "Courier" font from the org-x11-fonts-converted package, but no
"Helvetica" font on my system. I guess that explains why Courier gets embedded
but not Helvetica. Since embedding might actually be desired for exact glyphs,
I guess that can't be handled generically.

This just confirms to me though, that a separate "use only PDF standard fonts"
setting for the commenting tools would be useful, as it would help
unintentionally inflating the PDFs.
