Usually, all fonts should work. If you have a PDF file where some of
them don't, please send me an example file to address@hidden

Some users had luck with postprocessing via
    swfbbox -Oc file.swf -o file.swf

And of course there's the (still highly experimental) --flatten option
of pdf2swf:
    pdf2swf --flatten file.pdf -o file.swf
.
