Fonts missing in MathType EPS equations

$

Hope someone can help me!  Have an InDesign file, originally created in 2010 using CS4.  Now using CS6 to update.  Original layout had a placed Word document containing thousands of MathType equations; for some of the content the writer typed directly in the body of the Word file (x + y = z); others he used MathType to create the equations, which are now linked as EPS files in the InDesign file. 

 

Our problem is some of the linked EPS files are not showing the correct font.....where the fonts should be Times New Roman italic, we are seeing Helvetica in our InDesign layout.  The preview icon next to the linked EPS image (on the left in the Links palette) is showing the correct italicized text.  When I open the problem eps files in Illustrator, the font that's supposed to be the Times New Roman Ital is getting substituted with Myriad Pro.  BUT when I open the problem EPS files to edit them in MathType 6.7, the italicized Times New Roman font appears correctly. 

 

This problem is inconsistent...some MathType generated eps equations are fine and will appear right next to some that aren't (even the same equations!)   Am not getting any font error messages in InDesign; have tried turning on/off Times New Roman in Suitcase and Font Book.  Have tried deleting cached font files.

Again, the document has thousands of equations so can't just manually open up each in AI or MathType to fix/swap fonts.  Have had some success bringing sections from original 2010 Word file into a fresh CS6 document but it's not an option to re-layout the entire document.

 

Any ideas?    Am tearing my hair out!    THANKS!
