It depends: embedded if you use pdflatex, not embedded if you use dvips+ps2pdf (and I guess, if your printer is a PS printer). It seems logical not to embed when you know that the fonts are in the printer, for a process which delegates all possible tasks downstream (eps inclusion, font inclusion,...). Unless dvips can be tuned to embed ? -- Jean-Pierre
