Is there any error message from illustrator? If you view the pdf file in
Acrobat Reader and choose the document information dialog, what type
does it list the CMR10 font as? I think this would usually be Type 1,
and there could be some problem with how Type-1 fonts get embedded.

Do you need usetex or is matplotlib's built-in formula rendering
sufficient? In the latter case TrueType versions of the various fonts
are embedded, which just might work better than Type 1.
