On the other hand, OOo always embeds all fonts, and I suspect it
embeds the complete set. That's why ps2pdf produces smaller files.
Yes, unfortunately it embeds the whole font like I mentioned before:

There is no configuration that I know of to tell OOo not to embeds a
font.
I can't find one either. However, not embedding is bad idea
also. Ideally OO should only embed the subset that the document uses.
