I've not run across an app that substitutes fonts except when there is either no embedded copy or for some reason it can't use the embedded copy. The latter case would be very rare. Failure to embed the necessary fonts is the main cause for substitutions, and substitution can lead to very ugly results.
Generally, embedding the fonts used prevents substitution issues. Keep in mind that some fonts are not licensed to allow embedding or must be obfuscated when embedded to prevent their being extracted for use elsewhere.
