Bug#132459: suggested workaround does not work
In this article
http://lists.debian.org/debian-tetex-maint/2002/debian-tetex-maint-200203/msg00220.html
Barak Pearlmutter <bap@snot.cs.unm.edu> suggests that
dvips -Ppdf -G0 ...
dvips -Pcmz ...
But it doesn't work in the latest stable (3.0, woody). I purged dvips &
company and reinstalled. This is what results:
I'm running
dvips -Ppdf -G0 -o file.ps file.dvi
it gives output like this:

' TeX output 2002.08.14:1146' -> catavault.system.docs.ps
kpathsea: Running mktexpk --mfmode ljfour --bdpi 8000 --mag 1+0/8000
--dpi 8000 ecbx2074
mktexpk: Mismatched mode ljfour and resolution 8000; ignoring mode.
mktexpk: Can't guess mode for 8000 dpi devices.
mktexpk: Use a config file, or update me.
kpathsea: Appending font creation commands to missfont.log.
dvips: Font ecbx2074 at 8000 not found; scaling 600 instead.
dvips: Such scaling will generate extremely poor output.
kpathsea: Running mktexpk --mfmode ljfour --bdpi 8000 --mag 1+0/8000
--dpi 8000 ecrm1000
mktexpk: Mismatched mode ljfour and resolution 8000; ignoring mode.
mktexpk: Can't guess mode for 8000 dpi devices.
mktexpk: Use a config file, or update me.
Then I run
ps2pdf file.ps file.pdf
and xpdf says it has Type 3 fonts in it that it can't deal with.
ditto for the command
$ dvips -Pcmz -o catavault.system.docs.ps catavault.system.docs.dvi

How to get nice Type 1 font output?
