A quick fix would be to use different fonts.  There are font 
families that resemble Times that will embed without 
difficulty. Times of course should only  be used for narrow 
column work, as in a newsletter. 

The better fix is of course to set the switch in TeX that 
makes it embed the Adobe "standard" fonts, but apparently 
you did this already. 

The original TeX ttfam typewriter font in its type 1 form is 
also a decent substitute for Courier.
