Sure. 
But even with these there will still be some work to do ...

 ... since some characters will not show correctly.
Notice how the '-' is missing in  y_{m-1}  at the right edge
of the example you sent.

In my experience, missing '-' signs are the single most annoying
problem when importing images having CM-encoded fonts into a more
standardly-encoded font within a PDF. 
If you do not fix this, you risk having your book published with
these characters missing. 

I've done books in which every image had to be touched-up 
(in Illustrator) to find and replace all such instances
 --- especially in the axes-tick labelling.
