I can think of only two scenarios under which this could happen, and 
neither of them have anything to do with Framemaker:

1) He's not using "Press Quality" job options to distill. His job 
options file either does not embed fonts, or allows Distiller to 
generate a PDF with problem fonts not embedded, perhaps with a warning, 
perhaps not. "Smallest file size" has "Embed all fonts" turned off. This 
would definitely cause it.

2) He's using fonts that do not allow embedding, or Distiller can't find 
the fonts. As such, he had to resort to using something less than "Press 
Quality" (or to changing Press Quality so it will still generate a PDF 
even without all fonts embedded).

Either way the fix is to 1) use good fonts/tell Distiller where to find 
them, and 2) distill with Press Quality job options. Or send you the 
font and have you install it. :^) Because Framemaker cannot embed fonts 
in the PDFs that Distiller creates, this problem has nothing to do with 
Frame. Save as PDF shouldn't make any difference, as that relies on 
Distiller too.

In a pinch, he could re-print his PDF from Acrobat to a new PDF and 
check "Print as Image", but this will give you 600 dpi max output 
resolution for the type.
