I have a possibly off-topic and certainly naive question. But unfortunately it's urgent, and a systematic search would take too long:
I just finished a 84 page document and sent it to the printer. They say the fonts are not embedded. Is there a switch that allows me to do that? If not, what else can I do?
You don't tell us which fonts you use and which TeX engine / output workflow.
I use gentium and -- for bold -- LinLibertine. I installed these fonts myself with texfont. The engine is pdftex (I think). I run "texmfstart texexec --pdf myfile.tex".
If they're the basic PS fonts (Helvetica/Arial, Times, Courier) they don't get embedded by default, because every RIP *must* have them. Some printshop workflow software complains anyway (I get that very often at work), but you can ignore it in that special case.
Otherwise, it may be your TeX fonts aren't installed properly and they're really not embedded or perhaps only as Type-3 pixel fonts.
You can send me your PDF off-list, I'll check it.
