Everything, with respect to TeXShop and TeX, is working beautifully here. It was a matter of curiosity that generated "the problem" and I apologize for that. On reading your advice, to another person, about using the 'sudo' command above, I tried it out -- out of curiosity -- and could not fathom the response received from the bash shell. In other words, my only "problem" was not understanding the response from the bash shell after executing the 'sudo' command. My apology for the confusion that my reply has caused.

One of the tabs should be something about fonts so click on it and it will display all the fonts used and give you information about whether they are embedded or not. That's not the only way to get that information but it's a simple way.

No Adobe Reader here.
