1. Fonts don't print properly in application-imported EPS file

I've run into a problem which is probably a FAQ of sorts, but I haven't
been able to find an answer yet.

I hand-rolled my own EPS file for my personal letterhead.  It's very
compact and does just what I need it to do, so the overhead on word
processing documents that embed this EPS file will be very minimal.
Even with a 2-bit PICT preview (I work on a Mac), the whole file size is
less than 10K.

The problem is USING the EPS file.  I can import it into WordPerfect 3.5e
or Microsoft Word 98, and it will show up with the proper preview.  But
when I print it, the fonts, which are suppose to come out in Garamond Book
Condensed Italic, are all cast in Courier.

Apparently, the requested fonts from the EPS are not being included in the
WordPerfect document as it is sent off to the printer.  Here is the header
block from my EPS file:

    %!PS-Adobe-3.0 EPSF-3.0
    %%Creator: (Gregory L. Pratt - hand crafted with pride)
    %%Title: (Letterhead 5.eps)
    %%CreationDate: Thu, 10 Jun 1999 20:52:11 -0400 (EST)
    %%BoundingBox: 0 0 540 80
    %%DocumentFonts: Garamond-BookCondensedItalic
    %%DocumentNeededFonts: Garamond-BookCondensedItalic
    %%DocumentSuppliedFonts:
    %%DocumentData: Clean7Bit
    %%EndComments

Later in the document I define the font that is later used by 'findfont'...

    /TitleFontSize 42 def
    /AddrFontSize 9 def
    /TitleFont /Garamond-BookCondensedItalic findfont
            TitleFontSize scalefont def
    /AddrFont /Garamond-BookCondensedItalic findfont
            AddrFontSize scalefont def

My understanding is that the inclusion of '%%DocumentNeededFonts' and a
blank '%%DocumentSuppliedFonts' would tell an enclosing PostScript document
(or a program interpreting it) that these resources would be needed from
elsewhere.  I did this on purpose because including the font would balloon
the file size up by 20-40K.

Am I doing something wrong here, or are the applications just too lazy to
parse through the file looking for needed resources?
