> It’s also obsoleted by RFC 8878, to which the same caveats apply.

Tangent: I decided to sit down and read that RFC yesterday. So I downloaded the PDF to my e-reader (because it doesn't support mono fonts for the plain text option). Turns out my Kobo H20 for some reason can't render the "fi" and "ff" ligatures, which made it a real struggle to read at times ("compressed les", "Human Encoding Trees").

Does anyone have any advice for how to turn plaintext RFCs into minimal PDFs with an embedded mono font?

Print as PDF from a browser or wordprocessor? In LibreOffice Writer you have the option to embed the font.

... sometimes the simplest solutions are the best. I feel so dumb, thanks!

I could probably even set the page size to the right dimensions in LibreOffice Writer
