Howdy,
Which fonts aren't being embedded? Are you using any of the ``Standard 35'' postscript fonts (e.g., Times, Helvetica or Courier) in your document? If those aren't being embedded try to run
sudo updmap-sys --setoption dvipsDownloadBase35=true
(you'll have to enter your admin password) in Terminal.
Good Luck,
Herb Schulz
