The only fonts IDL can use in eps output (AFAIK) are the base 14
postscript fonts that (at least in pdf) should never be embedded. But,
OK, if the journal insists:

1 - Convert the eps to pdf (epstopdf that comes with TeX distributions
will do just fine).

2 - Now the tricky bit: obtaining an eps file without the fonts:

gs -dNOPAUSE -dNOCACHE -dBATCH -sDEVICE=epswrite \
-sOutputFile=your-output-file.eps \
your-source-file.pdf

(change file-names as needed)

This will replace the fonts with their outlines, and produce an eps
file that is perfectly acceptable (it doesn't rely on external files at
all).
