This is a feature request. Or else a howto request.  Can there be some
simple, automatic way to make fonts embed into pdf output? Could this be in
options() or par()?

Why?

I recently wanted to create a paper for a conference in a format called
AAAI (which I had never heard of before because I live in a cave).

http://www.aaai.org/Publications/Author/author.php

In their instructions for LaTeX, it has the statement:

All fonts must be embedded in the PDF file — this includes your figures.

I remember that after one creates a pdf file in R with the pdf device, one
can then add fonts to it with the embedFonts() function. But I forget!  And
this is difficult to explain to nonprogramemrs, who just want to put some
figures in a document.   I wish there were something I could put in
options() or par() or somewhere to just make this always happen.  I
understand this will make pdf files larger, but I'm willing to spend the
disk.
