Thanks!
I can't think of a reason not to load embedded fonts in ffmpeg; they are 
required to render subs as intended by the sub author. Without them some 
fallback font from the system or mkv-attachments will be used instead
(which if the requested font doesn't by chance happen to also be available
 on the system or as a container-attachment, will be some, more or
 less random font).
VLC always enables this unconditionally, but mplayer and mpv have an option 
for this defaulting to embedded fonts enabled, but as before I don't know why
anyone would want to disable this.
