How do I make sure all the fonts in my pdf generated by LyX has all the necessary fonts embedded and subset?
Good idea. I was at a conference a couple of weeks ago where close to 1/3 of the presenters used Beamer (I had no idea it was that popular here in the States), and at least one of them ran into a problem with missing fonts that caused his math formulas to evaporate. (Consolation: a similar problem afflicted close to half the people using Powerpoint.) I suspect this was due to borrowing the first presenter's laptop.
(I guess the trick would be to pass -dSubsetFonts=true -dEmbedAllFonts=true to ps2pdf but how do I do that from LyX?)
DISCLAIMER: I have not tried this myself (I use pdflatex, and seem to get lucky with the fonts).
Go to Tools -> Preferences -> Converters, highlight "Postscript -> PDF (ps2pdf)", type the options you want into the "Extra flag" field, then click Modify and Save. You may have to exit and restart LyX to have it take effect (I'm not sure).
HTH, Paul
