I know you can control this with the cairo package, but I was hoping
that embedFonts( ) would provide a way to embed all fonts, not just the
non-standard ones. I'm submitting graphics to a journal that wants
Helvetica and Helvetica-bold embedded for some reason. Is there an easy
way to do this on a pdf graphic created wit pdf()? A linux system
command would be excellent for my purpose.
Thanks
Frank

I do not know how that would come to be, and would be inclined to ask the journal to supply them. One possible way out is to use Nimbus Sans aka URW Helvetica, which embetFonts can embed. -- Brian D.
