Can you look at the fonts included in the two versions of your PDF  
file (the one yielding no problem in Illustrator, and the one  
yielding problems), and see whether they differ?

You can use Adobe Reader or Acrobat for this (go to File > Document  
Properties, and select the Fonts tab), or probably better pdffonts  
(mentioned yesterday by Peter Dyballa in the thread "[OS X TeX] Font  
problem"), to be operated from the command line and which will yield  
ASCII output such as:

$ pdffonts abstract-efmc6v2.pdf

IPCHFM+Symbol                        Type 1C      yes yes no      39  0

(this comes from a LaTeX file using Lucida and Hoefler thanks to  
gtamacfonts, and including a graphics -- prepared with Mathematica  
then Illustrator -- containing Hoefler and Symbol).

pdffonts is a tool coming with the xpdf PDF viewer <http:// 
ftp.foolabs.com/xpdf/>. I installed xpdf through DarwinPorts, and it  
can also be obtained through Fink. Apparently, however, the non X- 
windows tools associated with xpdf (not xpdf itself) are already  
available as precompiled binaries from <http://users.phg-online.de/tk/ 
MOSXS/>.

Hope this helps,
