Illustrator CC 2019 won't embed fonts in PDFs

I'm trying to save my Illustrator file as a pdf but it's not saving (embedding) the fonts along with the pdf when I do so. However, if I open that same file in Illustrator CC 2018 or 2017 I can save out a pdf with the fonts embedded just fine.

Note: this happens whether or not I get the message "The preset specifies that some of the fonts are not embedded. This application always embeds fonts." in the Summary section of the Save Adobe PDF dialog box.

I'm using Illustrator CC 2019 on a Mac Pro running MacOS 10.13.6.
