Bingo! That was the answer. Now the bold looks, well, bold when I print the PDF.
I didn't dig deep enough in the FM folder to find where the fonts were. Silly me, I didn't think they'd be that buried if FM installed fonts. My bad. Thanks, Paul! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Linda G.

To fix this, go to Distiller > Settings > Font Location, and add the above font location. That's what I had to do to get the bundled Minion Pro and Myriad Pro to embed.
