When you are creating the EPS's, you should have the option to embed fonts. Looking at your Font replacement dialog, it indicates fonts are not embedded. In any case, you should do this particularly on a cross-platform file. The other option is to obtain a Windows version of the Helevtica Neue and install that. However, since Helvetica Neue on OS X is a TrueType (ttc) font file, you may not be able to install it.

In addition to the good information above, if you have the option to save the Mathmagic art file as a PDF, that would be preferred over an .eps, embedding the fonts if possible. If there is no option to embed the fonts, open the art file in Acrobat and use a Preflight Profile to embed the fonts– Tools> Print Production> Preflight> Fixups> Embed missing fonts. You could also try opening the .eps in Illustrator, if the fonts are available, you can save as a PDF using the Illustrator default settin

You could also change the file to black only, if this is intended for commercial printing.
