Actually, I don't see why we should use TrueType fonts instead of Type1
fonts. There is a set of excellent Type1 fonts from URW included in
gsfonts package under GPL; there is an extension of these fonts with
Cyrillic glyphs by Valek Filippov (ftp://ftp.gnome.ru/fonts/urw/README),
also under GPL, and soon to be included into gsfonts; Valek also said
that he successfully converted URW fonts to TrueType, using pfaedit btw.
Can someone explain what is the problem with switching to Type1
altogether?
