And the answer is a devastating 'you were taking advantage of a
limitation in the old PDF interpreter, not a feature [...] And no
possibility of 'unifying' different fonts with the [new] pdfwrite
device.'
The GS people classified the issue as an 'enhancement'; maybe this
comes back eventually in a future version.
Very frustrating.
