I think ps2pdf does this as best it can. I'd suggest running each of your figures (which are now in PDF format) through pdf2ps then through ps2pdf, then open it in Acrobat Reader (or xpdf, etc.) and look at the document properties to see if the fonts in that figure are embedded. If they aren't, anything you do with the output from pdflatex won't work. If that happens to a particular figure, you can convert it to a bitmap (I'd suggest PNG) using Gimp, ImageMagick or other image editor, and specify the bitmap in your LyX document. LyX will handle it automatically. Les
