You can get really small output using the core fonts, which I'm sure some users appreciate. They are also problematic, since not everyone has a copy of the exact right fonts, and the viewer program substitutes something else that has (or should have) the same metrics. Thus a figure that you like on screen might look very different when printed (possibly via a professional printer that does have a copy the real Helvetica etc). To avoid such problems, some publishers require all fonts to be embedded, and the latest version of the PDF spec deprecated the use of the core fonts without embedding them. -- Jouni K.
