The font would be embedded at the pdf file. [Font embedding](https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/pdf-fonts.html) – Alex K Apr 13 '17 at 06:46

"The font would be embedded at the pdf file." - What it is the best practice? Embed or not? – ceklock Apr 20 '18 at 14:52

And what is the difference if you embed? Is the font file copied inside the PDF? In which cases would you do that? Is it safer to embed? – ceklock Apr 20 '18 at 14:53

I had the same question just today. But I took a look in the official page bellow, and the Summary says:
Unless you are okay with your PDF potentially being rendered with a default/native PDF specification font, or unless you are confident your client machines will always have the fonts installed, you need to use the "embed..." checkbox while creating your font extension
https://community.jaspersoft.com/wiki/what-purpose-embed-font-pdf-document
Because the font is needed in others clients to render correctly.
PS: sorry my English..
