The math parts of the PDF are in the Type3 font and the document is set to substitute local fonts (i.e.: fonts on your machine) for what is in its font declarations. The problem is that the Bitstream fonts on the Reader do not have that glyph defined in the font that is substituted for the Type3 font. When you embedded fonts to read the document on the Reader you can only embed Type1 and TrueType fonts that have information that Adobe Distiller (or its equiv) can read. In all cases it will not touch a Type3 font.
That said, you can perhaps convert the document to text and recreate a Reader sized PDF using embedded Type1 or TrueType fonts. I've done it on other documents and it can be done. Good luck.
