It is the wish of the publisher that pdf-documents have their fonts embedded and not only as a subset. This of course shows that they do not understand TeX (where a small error does only need one extra run probably).
But nevertheless: the windows program freeFTP.exe does include the full fonts - where not forbidden - if so configured (which is easy).

(Personally, I would never accept my printing house changing my publications; any errors in print will be revealed in proof runs, and it is my and my publisher's responsibility to review the proofs until we are satisfied that there are no errors left in it before approving publication runs) But, back to your problem: what you're looking for is Ghostscript. This is a scripting language for manipulating ps and pdf files, and one of the many, many things it can do is font embedding. Note that you can only LEGALLY do this if the embedding policy indicated by the font allows "editable" embedding (meaning the font may be embedded for the purpose of editing the document, using that font), or "installable" embedding (which means the font may be installed permanently on a system, rather then being only temporarily available to the program that's accessing the pdf file). http://colinm.org/tips/latex should help you on your way. And while most people actually want subsets turned on, you actually want to make sure subsetting is turned off =) - Mike "Pomax" Kamermans nihongoresources.com -------------------------------------------------- Subscriptions, Archive, and List information, etc.: http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/xetex -------------------------------------------------- Subscriptions, Archive, and List information, etc.: http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/xetex
