We use the following command to convert from EPS to PDF.

$ gs -dSAFER -dEPSCrop -dCompatibilityLevel=1.4 -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -r1200 -dSubsetFonts=false -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -dAutoRotatePages=/None -sOutputFile=filename.pdf -c.setpdfwrite -ffilename.eps

We believed that Ghostscript generates full font embedded (non-subset) PDF
when `-dSubsetFonts=false` is specified.
