What happens if you generate your .pdf (which seems to include the
fonts) then use a converter (there are several) to generate a ps from
that? Are there any that don't use gs, that would use the fonts in the
pdf file?
This may sound stupid (but it may work): there's a pdf to html converter
that turns each pdf page into a graphic that then a browser can display.
Would this round-about method work if the image could then be turned
into a ps?
