Summary: Option to embed font (or skip reference)for pdf/a generation

Initial Comment:
I cannot create PDF/A with FOP containing a barcode4j-barcode, because barcode4j creates a font-reference in the PDF. Fonts have to be embedded for pdf/a-standard.

Message:
Please note that, by default, Barcode4J uses "Helvetica" as default font
for the human-readable part. This is documented as such in the Barcode XML
documentation. For PDF/A you must use font that are configured to be
embedded. So with the default, you'd have to explicitely configure
Helvetica as an embeddable font. But you can also just tell Barcode4J to
use another font that you have already set up. For example, if you use
"Verdana" in your document, you can do this:

          <bc:barcode xmlns:bc="http://barcode4j.krysalis.org/ns"
message="4194586705506+07">
            <bc:ean-13>
              <bc:human-readable>
                <bc:font-name>Verdana</bc:font-name>
              </bc:human-readable>
            </bc:ean-13>
          </bc:barcode>

I've just verified that producing a valid PDF/A document is possible that
way. HTH
