I've used this feature from Appsoft Draw, and I assume that it works with other  
applications.  Be sure to set "Chosen Printer/Include Fonts" from the pull-down  
Save menu.  You also have to install the "chosen printer", and chose it.  It  
all worked fine for me.  (I produced a figure that a friend of mine printed out  
on his color printer; he didn't have the same fonts I did, so I had to include  
them using this method.)
