Have you tried using the Cairo package? For instance, I just helped one
of our users here at Vanderbilt to embed 'Gill Sans MT' (because
apparently it's required by some journal) into her PDF graphic, like so:
CairoFonts(
regular="Gill Sans MT",
bold="Gill Sans MT:style=Bold",
italic="Gill Sans MT:style=Italic",
bolditalic="Gill Sans MT:style=Bold Italic"
)
CairoPDF(file="file.pdf")
...
dev.off()
Also, Preview or even Acrobat reader (or xpdf) should reveal in the
"Properties" of the pdf file whether or not your desired fonts are embedded.
Best,
Jeff
