I would talk to your vendor, embedded subset fonts should not be an issue, unless they are doing type edits to your final files. Were you able to reduce the consolidate times with subsetted fonts? most people consider an embedded subset PDF to have properly embedded fonts, for printing anyway. I'm guessing you are using Distiller to make your PDFs from Quark .ps, you are probably aware you can adjust the Distiller settings to subset the fonts. If you are exporting directly to a PDF from Quark, subsetting is the only option (I believe).
