No, there isn't. And Illustrator requires you to have the fonts
installed to use the file; just having them embedded in a PDF or EPS
file isn't enough.

Either that, or get you the fonts. Illustrator can read font files in
either platform format on either platform, so there shouldn't be a
problem.

That is not true.


If you display the PDF with Acrobat then you can rip the fonts out, if they
are in the PDF.

Then you can put the fonts into your system and then display the PDF in
Illustrator.
