Err, of course. That's why I ask. Does debian-legal think that a
document with a DFSG-free license and with sources available except for
the embedded fonts is DFSG-free or not?
If the pdf includes non-free font implementations, then this is just plain
non-free (and perhaps non-distributable if the source is GPL). If it just
includes a reference by name to a non-free font, it's free, but useless to
Debian.
I don't want to hear technical comments whether it is desirable or
doable to rebuild the documentation, but whether it is legally possible
to distribute such documents.
Legally possible: yes. Useful to Debian: no. I'd say to put it in
non-free or contrib even if it technically doesn't violate the DFSG.
