http://tex.aanhet.net/epspdf/index.html provides a GUI to run ps2pdf and pdftops GUI options for pdftops are on the "todo" list. This is a rather complicated way to get fonts embedded. In principle, print spoolers can use the DSC information to download fonts, so there is code in the printer system to do a more direct conversion.
After that I corrected the box size only. All other methods I tried like using ps2pdf (with embedding) -> pdf2ps, using embedFonts in R (with pswrite parameter), using incscape (with importing and exporting eps) produce eps with text converted to paths, that, IMHO, is not embedding.
There are a couple advantages to using paths. Some publishers equate "EPS" with the files saved from Illustrator or Photoshop, and expect to open the files to apply color corrections or add annotations. In general, you can't open files that use fonts that aren't installed on the system. While the Adobe base 13 fonts will be available, few publishers will have the outline math fonts (CM, etc.) supported by TeX. CMYK is still a problem for free software. I'm involved with a report series that is now printed directly from PDF. When our printer first started using PDF, they wanted sRGB, but now they have gone back to CMYK. While there are tools that produce CMYK from RGB, the conversions are often done using a simple formula that does not deal with out-of-gamut colors and often produce muddy looking results. -- George N.
