I found another solution to the problem I was seeing.
It appears that I would get that error message whenever I included the degree symbol in the Arial font in my drawing. In an MTEXT object, if there is a degree symbol in a line, the entire line gets turned into garbage in the PDF.
I went into the PDF driver Custom Properties, and left it set to "Capture some", but then I hit "Edit font list..." and selected the Arial font. I then created the PDF again, and this time the PDF was created correctly, with no error message about a missing "ArialMT" font. The resulting file sizes:
Default settings: 350KB
Capture All "As Graphics": 1.3MB
Capture Some, select "Arial" in the list: 400KB
I got a garbage PDF using the default settings, but got a good PDF with both of the other settings. The "Capture All As Graphics" option really bloats the file size, however.
