I've used Lyx for writing my thesis and it has been wonderful! Everything works beautifully and I'm ready to submit my final pdf file. However, I just realized I need to embed all the fonts in the pdf, and I haven't been able to figure out how to do this.
I've found lots of information on using ps2pdf, but at this point with a 150 page document, I'm worried about the conversion from pdf -> ps -> pdf. Is there a way to embed the fonts with pdflatex, which is what I'm already using in Lyx? I'm checking whether the fonts are embedded using Acrobat (properties) and pdffonts. There are a scary number of fonts (~100) and most are not embedded. I found instructions about pdflatex here: http://do.whileloop.org/soft/tricks/pdflatex-fonts.php but it seemed like my pdftex config file is already set to *pdftexDownloadBase14 true *but I tried anyway and used the command *initexmf --edit-config-file updmap* to edit updmap.cfg and added the following lines: *pdftexDownloadBase14 true dvipsPreferOutline true dvipsDownloadBase35 true dvipdfmDownloadBase14 true* But the added lines seem to have no affect on the embedded pdf fonts. Any help is much appreciated. (using Windows XP Pro with Lyx 1.5.5, Miktex 2.7 with all updated packages)
