I cannot help you embed these fonts.  I'd just like to not that 
Helvetica, Times, and Courier are part of the so called Base 14 font 
set.  This means that they must be available to any conforming PDF 
renderer, and need not be embedded.

Perhaps you'll find something by Googling for "embed base 14".
