One idea would be to recreate your charts as .pdf and include those in latex?
Wouldn't that 'freeze' those fonts?  Maybe with an additional option to
include font files in the pdf itself?

Nice one, but a) there's campaign going on back north (though that may change
soon) and b) Canadian election laws don't require that as I recall.  It's
been a while since in lived in .ca though...
