I don't know what Illustrator's problem is but you might want to
experiment with using another font family.  For example, try

\usepackage{palatino}

or, if you use math,

\usepackage{mathpazo}

in your preable.

This might confirm that it is really the "TeX fonts" (presumably
Computer Modern) that are problematic.
