so to the font aicmsl10 (pdftex uses aicmsl10.tfm/.vf) belongs the
encoding file aicmtext.enc (mapping of TeX letters to Type1 font
characters) and the cmsl10.pfb will be loaded. The things in quotes are
ignored by pdftex, only important for dvips.

Yes.

Somehow you have registered a bunch of fonts, e. g. by updmap --enable
Map ai.map, which divert your fonts of embedded files. Find this ai.map
or whatever the mapfile name is, which contains these silly entries, and
disable all these map entries together by updmap --disable ai.map, or
whatever name.

Ok, it just means, you made your original with cmsl10/CMSL10, using the
mapfile line starting with cmsl10, which is a standard entry. The font
cmsl10.pfb (BaseName CMSL10) is used in the original. During embedding,
the CMSL10 line matches the exotic font line aicmsl10/CMSL10. Bang.
