Howdy,

What TeX distribution are you using? If MacTeX:

In Terminal run

sudo -H updmap-sys --nohash --nomkmap --setoption dvipsDownloadBase35  
true

tells updmap to set dvips to include the Base 35 Type One Fonts. You  
might also want to do

sudo -H updmap-sys --nohash --nomkmap --setoption pdftexDownloadBase14  
true

and

sudo -H updmap-sys --nohash --nomkmap --setoption  
dvipdfmDownloadBase14 true

for pdftex and (x)dvipdfm(x) respectivley.

Finally, have updmap update your map files by running

sudo -H updmap-sys

and then the base 35/14 (different way of counting the base fonts)  
should be included in the documents.

Good Luck,
