@nitin_seth there is no limitation on no. of fonts. You can embed the fonts in pdf/xdp and retry

@nitin_seth 

Please find below my responses:

• how many OOTB fonts are supported by - com.adobe.fd.assembler.service.AssemblerService

There is no limitation to the number of fonts you can embed, but we have seen instances where the output PDF size increases drastically, so you can use the optimizeFont option of DDX to decrease the file size of the merged PDF file. The condition is that the required fonts are on the server for font optimization to work. It is highly unlikely that the conversion will succeed if all the required fonts are unavailable.

• how to supply custom font parameter to com.adobe.fd.assembler.service.AssemblerService

You can set the fonts via DDX; more information here (page- 112)- 

https://helpx.adobe.com/pdf/aem-forms/6-2/ddxRef.pdf 

Make the custom font available: Go to http://[server]:[port_number]/system/console/configMgr​ and edit "CQ-DAM-Handler-Gibson Font Manager Service".

Add the path to your font library. Alternatively, you can add the font to "[AEM Install Dir]/crx-quickstart/fonts"
