Obviously it's still not possible to render non-embedded fonts as paths, but in this way the rest of the page will at least be allowed to continue rendering.
*Please note:* Including the 14 standard fonts in PDF.js probably wouldn't be *that* difficult to implement. (I'm not a lawyer, but the fonts from PDFium could probably be used given their BSD license.)
However, the main blocker ought to be the total size of the necessary font data, since I cannot imagine people being OK with shipping ~5 MB of (additional) font data with Firefox. (Based on the reactions when the CMap files were added, and those are only ~1 MB in size.)
