I think, to make the fonts be embedded correctly you have to put the figure into a latex document which has the fonts included, then run latex and get a figure out. I have some scripts doning this automatically from within vim so that I can watch my progress.
A much simpler way is to run mptopdf which creates pdf-files directly and handles all the font problems. /johan -- Johan Ingvast, PhD student http://www.md.kth.se/~ingvast Department of Machine Design, Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden http://www.md.kth.se, http://www.md.kth.se/~cas <--- Walking robot proj tel +46 (0)8 790 95 36 mob. +46 (0)70 34 34 498
