Bug#221372: font substitution ...

[Michael Meeks <michael@ximian.com>]

Hi there,

	Font substitution is (apparently) a terrible idea; it is (perhaps)
useful for the 0.5% of highly clueful people who understand i18n, and
are 100% appraised of their printer font coverage and document font
usage - but this is a tiny sub-set of people.

	In reality, it's _far_ better to whack the glyphs out in the postscript
output - this is why we unconditionally enable Type42 support
in our .ps generation. This garentees a WYSIWYG result, whereas font
substitution garentees that a huge set of documents will arrive brokeen.

	Ergo - it's worth being slightly larger as long as it always works.

	HTH,

		Michael.
