 Obviously this still requires you to use epstopdf on all of your figures after saving them unless your figure editor supports exporting to both .eps and .pdf for you. 
  
 Personally due to the number of documents I have, I'll stick with the way that doesn't require me to alter the headers and figure includes in all documents. Maybe I will try to look into doing it the "proper" way for new docs.

 Embedding Type1 fonts works only for (surprise) existing fonts. Type 1 Extended Computer Modern (ecmr) is not in the default TeTeX package (as of Debian Woody). If you want to use accented characters and Computer Modern, you might find the [CM Super package | http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/ps-type1/cm-super/] handy. This was really the important step for me after reading the original of the two step-many option dvips/ps2pdf procedure.

+For what it's worth, Debian sid has the "lmodern" package which appears to be a good substitute and Works For Me. I don't know why they don't include  
+cm-super as it is apparently under GPL. The lmodern package can be installed on Woody if you also install backports of tetex-bin and tetex-base version 2,

 Another possible Acrobat Reader bug: 
  
 When you view the font information with "Document Info - Fonts" or "File -> Document Properties -> Fonts", and select to list all fonts, it may not show all the fonts as being embedded in the document. It appears that it first needs to encounter the font in the document by you viewing the pages where those particular fonts are used, so you should quickly skim through all the pages and then all fonts will show up as embedded. Just another one of those things that might catch you out and make you think that the fonts aren't actually embedded when they are!
