So dvips takes care of the correct inclusion of the fonts. In that case 
you might try the following simple tex file for each of the figures:

\documentclass{article}
% normal preamble here, font inclusion &c.
\usepackage{graphicx}
\pagestyle{empty}
\begin{document}
\includegraphics{yourfile}
\end{document}

and run it through latex and dvips:

latex figure.tex
dvips -E -o figure-out.eps figure.dvi

and translate into pdf now:

epstopdf --outfile=figure.pdf figure-out.eps

The fonts should now be included as expected (you can check the font 
information in Acrobat).

Since you now handle one figure at a time, the solution given above 
(which also works rather nicely for metapost output), might be worth a 
try.
