Try

  lilypond --ps -dbackend=eps ...

to create one EPS file per page.

No longer :-) I've just fixed a bug (present since ever) which
corrects this.

All fonts except CFF (to be more specific: OpenType fonts which use
CFF outlines) are embedded in hex form.  And CFF fonts, AFAIK, can't
be embedded in hex form at all in PostScript files.  Today is 2013,
not 1993.
