[OS X TeX] OT: help with font embeddings

I followed the link Melissa provided and there was indeed a rather  
complicated description of how to create a pdf file having the fonts  
embedded. However, another reader pointed out that OS 10.4 offered  
the possibility to save a pdf file as a pdf-X file, which by  
definition has all fonts embedded.

After saving a pdf file created by pdftex in Preview as pdf-X (an  
option in Format), a check in Acrobat revealed that all fonts had  
been embedded. In the original pdf none were embedded.
