vmware-xdg-detect-de in your Ubuntu guest, you will see that the output of the script is empty. I made one minor change to the script, and the VMWare Unity mode menu appeared. Below is the diff result on the script before and after the revision.

XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP as Unity. The solution is still to let vmware-xdg-detect-de return gnome. What I did is shown in this diff result,diff /usr/bin/vmware-xdg-detect-de \

export XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=GNOME

pdflatex to compile LaTeX files to produce PDF files, suggesting pdflatex is the culprit. Perhaps, the problem is rather not with pdflatex, but with the configuration of pdflatex. My experience indicates that default configuration of most LaTeX distributions has already got the configuration right. However, my experience indicates that regardless I use pdflatex or the combination of latex, dvips, and ps2pdf, I have many occasions that not all fonts are embedded.latex, but with figures generated by some third party tools. For instance, if you use Matlab to save figure as an eps file, for instance, the following Matlab script produces an eps file example_signal.eps showing a cosine signal. num_periods = 10;
freq = 5;
sampling_interval = 1/100;
signal_length = num_periods * 1 / freq;
t = 1:sampling_interval:signal_length;
y = 10 * cos(2 * pi * freq * t + pi / 4);
plot(t, y);
xlabel('t');
ylabel('y');
set(gcf, 'PaperSize', [5 5*0.618]);
set(gcf, 'PaperPosition', [0 0 5 5*0.618]);
print('-depsc', 'example_signal');
