Hi Roland,

thank you very much for the effort you put into this issue!

We must not forget the primary purpose of these fonts, and that is to
serve as the 35 base fonts for ghostscript! Thus, I consider it out of
question to modify the original T1 fonts in this package.

What we may discuss about is to replace the "compatibility symlinks" in
/usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1 with actual converted PFB files.

Does it work if you first convert to PFA format and from there to PFB
format?
