The PostScript language spec requires a specific set of 14 fonts to be present. (Whether they are Type 1 or Type 2 or Type 42 doesn't really matter.) If a document wants to use other fonts, it normally has to embed them, but any PostScript document can freely assume that the standard fonts will be present. So tell us. Is gs able to determine from among your TrueType fonts which ones might have faces and metrics similar enough to the standard PostScript ones to be substituted? Can it do this on any system with any mix of TrueType fonts? Are you sure? Peter
