In order to embed fonts in pTeX,
rewrite the file

texmf/fonts/map/dvipdfmx/cid-x.map

as follows, for example:

%%
%% ASCII pTeX Examples
%%

%% Ryumin and GothicBBB found in PostScript printers:
rml  H Ryumin-Light
gbm  H GothicBBB-Medium
rmlv V Ryumin-Light
gbmv V GothicBBB-Medium

----> change the above like

%%
%% ASCII pTeX Examples
%%

%% embed Hiragino fonts:
rml   H HiraMinProN-W3.otf
gbm   H HiraKakuProN-W6.otf
rmlv  V HiraMinProN-W3.otf
gbmv  V HiraKakuProN-W6.otf

Best,
Akira
