AFAIK the default for pdfTeX, dvips and dvipdfm is to embed subsets  
of all fonts in a document, except for the 35 LaserWriter fonts which  
by default are not embedded. Meaning:

Avant Garde (Regular, Bold, Italic, Bold Italic)
Bookman (Regular, Bold, Italic, Bold Italic)
Courier (Regular, Bold, Italic, Bold Italic)
Helvetica (Regular, Bold, Italic, Bold Italic)
Helvetica Narrow (Regular, Bold, Italic, Bold Italic)
New Century Schoolbook (Regular, Bold, Italic, Bold Italic)
Palatino (Regular, Bold, Italic, Bold Italic)
Symbol
Times (Regular, Bold, Italic, Bold Italic)
Zapf Chancery
Zapf Dingbats

With gwTeX and i-Installer, in Expert mode at least, you can run the  
Configure stage of the gwTeX i-Package and select inclusion of the 35  
LaserWriter fonts (the default choice being again not to include them).

With TeXLive-2007 and MacTeX, you have to do the work manually:

sudo -H updmap-sys --setoption dvipsDownloadBase35 true
sudo -H updmap-sys --setoption pdftexDownloadBase14 true
sudo -H updmap-sys --setoption dvipdfmDownloadBase14 true

In my experience executing the first instruction takes care of the  
other two as well, though I never saw this documented.

Why the 35 fonts for dvips become 14 for pdfTeX and dvipdfm is a  
mystery to me.

Hope this helps,

Bruno
