I'm writing a thesis in LaTeX which includes dozens of figures (each in pdf format with fonts embedded). The pdf output has embedded fonts from each figure, even though they are the same font. This means MANY duplicate fonts embedded, and being the obsessive compuslive individual I am, it bothers me.

Am I the only one with this problem? Should I just let it go and live with the duplicates?
Code: Select all
\documentclass{book}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\begin{document}
Hello.\\
\includegraphics{fig1}
\includegraphics{fig2}
\end{document}
- I use XeLaTeX but same result with pdfLaTeX
Figures without embedded fonts make a final pdf without embedded fonts
The figures were made in Illustrator and printed as pdf using "Press Quality" preset
