Have you tried using pdffonts to see what type the embedded font is.

TrueType fonts should be embedded as a CID TrueType (or CID Type 2C)

name                       type              emb sub uni object ID
-------------------------- ----------------- --- --- --- ---------
DejaVuSans                 CID TrueType      yes no  yes      2  0


OpenType fonts with CFF outlines should be embedded as CID Type 0C

name                       type              emb sub uni object ID
-------------------------- ----------------- --- --- --- ---------
Inconsolata                CID Type 0C       yes no  yes      2  0


Type 1 fonts should be embedded as Type 1

name                       type              emb sub uni object ID
-------------------------- ----------------- --- --- --- ---------
NimbusSansL                Type 1            yes no  yes      2  0


If the font subsetting fails returning CAIRO_STATUS_UNSUPPORTED a
fallback font will be embedded (CID Type 0C for ttf/otf) or Type 1 for
Type 1 fonts. This will have a CairoFont-x-y name.

name                       type              emb sub uni object ID
-------------------------- ----------------- --- --- --- ---------
CairoFont-0-0              CID Type 0C       yes no  yes      2  0
