Good point about not being able to copy/paste the final text.
I don't understand why I should OCR the final output, though, since I already have access to the "raw" text. If I were to OCR it and generate a new PDF, I'm back to square one, since I'd need to specify a font. Unless you meant that some people might want to OCR my public PDF to access the underlying text, since it only contains images?
In the end, I guess I'll simply use a font with a more permissive licence (free or commercial).
