[pdftex] Characters from MarVoSym not embedded in PDF, anything I can do about it?

[Andrzej Giniewicz]

Hello,

I'm preparing PDF for print using PDFLaTeX 3.1415926-2.3-1.40.12
(current full install of TeXLive 2011 from Arch Linux packages, i.e.
latest) - I have to create PDF/X-1a:2001 and got almost everything
right (including colours, boxes, page sizes and all that stuff),
except for two characters that I use for marking stuff on margins
which does not embed. When I do preflight in Adobe Acrobat 9 I get
error:

			Glyphs missing in embedded font
				Embedded font contains all glyphs needed in PDF

on all pages containing one of two symbols from MarVoSym font/package.
There is relevant part of PDF/X-1a:2001 preflight report:

I can walk around this issue by exporting those glyphs into for
example tikz pictures - they are placed on margin using marginpar to
mark material like WritingHand for homeworks - but I wonder why they
are not included? Is it possible to force inclusion of those glyphs
using PDFLaTeX? Any more details I can provide in order to help
solving this?

Thanks in advance,
Andrzej Giniewicz.
