Hi, I got a problem.
The conference asks authers to embed all fonts in the final pdf file. But when
I use MikTex or other Latex software to do:
latex => dvips => ps2pdf
the fonts Times-* Helvetica* were never embedded in the pdf. And after long
searching on the internet, I am convenienced that Adobe Distiller and dvips
will not embed these fonts because they are basic fonts that do not need to
be embedded.
However, the conference checking software would not let the pdf pass the check
if these fo

regular Times fonts, for example, Times-Roman. In the Latex file, I used
\usagepackage{times}
The problem is that ps2pdf or distiller do not embed any times or helvetica
fonts if these fonts are NOT embedded in the ps file (by dvips or other things
).

these standard fonts are not embeded by default because they, or their
equivalents, are usually available on most systems and printers.
to change this, got to texmf/web2c/updmap.cfg and change these options to
"true"
dvipsDownloadBase35
pdftexDownloadBase14
dvipdfmDownloadBase14
and then open up a command window and run
updmap
you should be all set.z

Thanks you so much sunxt!!!! It worked very well!
But I have one more little problem.
I have a .eps file. It uses Helvetica fonts. Since I do not have any
control how to general the .eps figure, I cannot embed fonts in it.
As a result, the latex (MikTex) generated final pdf does not embed
Helvetica fonts. I am wondering if there is a way to embed fonts
appeared in the .eps files in the final pdf file. Also is there a way
to embed fonts in the eps, sy, I use xfig to draw a figure?
Thank you in ad

In xfig, you can use TeX fonts for text labels.
For eps files you have no control, you could try to use psfrag
to replace the text to whatever you want.

you can try the following, no guarantee will work.
use epstopdf to convert .eps to .pdf, it seems to me it embeds the fonts.
then convert the .pdf back to .eps using, for example, "pdftops -eps" from
xpdf.

Thank you, but...
It did not work. Look like need to let ps2pdf has to embed fonts
when it is doing the conversion.

It did not work. But thanks anyway. I converted the eps to
.jpg to avoid the problem. The bad side is that the file
size is very large.

in this case, .png is better for the drawings.

What is .png mainly used for? What are the good parts of it?
Honestly, I never used it.

You might want this two as well:
-dMaxSubsetPct=100 -dSubsetFonts=true
still, working or not depends on ghostscript versions.

PNG is an alternative solution for GIF with more flexible options. Basically
it's lossless and still has a big compression ratio. Recommend it.

Really, lossless. It's really cool. I'm going to try it next time.

I encountered same problem before. Font embedding is relatively simple as it
is a latex option. In higher version latex (I tried tetex-3.0 package),
pdflatex embeds all the fonts by default. However, font subsetting in .eps/.
pdf figures depends on the source applications that generates these figures. e
.g. matlab do only embed/not subset fonts when exporting eps/pdf figures, I
even can not find an option to change this setting.
One solution is to use third-party tools to subset fonts in eps/pdf
