A postscript document supplied by Trond Einar Garmo embedded each font every time it was referenced. This resulted in the five fonts being embedded a total of 37 times and inflating the final output from 2.9MB to 21MB. Even zipped the postscript file weighs in at 7.7MB which precludes me posting it to my usual location.

If you select Font Unload: Unlimited it will dump each font after it is done. This will let you print unlimited numbers of fonts on a page at the cost of retransmitting each font every time you switch.
