Here is the report from pdffonts. I run it on three files:
fig1.pdf: illustrator figure with copy/pasted latex annotation (view
sample: http://melina.local/~themis/fig1.pdf, see axes of fig1).
GOOD_file.pdf: pdflatex output of latex file with \includefig{fig1},
typeset on Dec 9 - this file shows the latex annotation properly w/o
font substitutions (view sample: http://melina.local/~themis/p13-
good.pdf, see axes of fig1).
BAD_file.pdf: pdflatex output of latex file with \includefig{fig1},
typeset on Dec 20 - this file displays the latex annotation
incorrectly using font substitutions (view sample: http://
melina.local/~themis/p13-bad.pdf, see axes of fig1).
The only difference between good and bad is that good was compiled on
latex before updating to the newest tex installation while bad
afterwards.
