Pls excuse my endless ignorance... I don't follow how your advice
"Generate PostScript under RISC OS ensuring that ALL fonts are
embedded" applies to the PostScript generation in the first place.
.......

This is a bit sneaky, I think. As supplied, !Printers will substitute
some RISC OS font names with equivalent Postscript names when
printing to Postscript. The Acorn fonts will not then be embedded
when you make a PDF, the assumption being that the printer will have
the fonts already.

The application !FontPrint, which you should find in the same
directory as !Printers, controls which fonts this applies to; they're
listed in its display. You just just select them all via the menu,
and delete them, leaving an empty window.

Hope this helps.

Many thanks, David and Richard, for pointing me to that: ah yes - indeed - a dark corner now has a little light shone on it!! 

Certainly will help!
It's also essential for sending things to lulu.com if you want to publish things that way. I had endless trouble with Ghostscript and PDFprinter on a PC failing to embed all the fonts, but it worked first time with OvationPro to Postscript file and then ps2pdf.
