Thanks for the info. However, I think these are only useful if one
has the original TeX source. If one only has the translated
postscript, the fontas are embedded (so Acrobat Reader tells me..)
as type 3 fonts.
I found a link to something called FixFont which might be able to
fix this, but I have not tried it out:
