I take it this is because the Postscript driver embeds Type 3 fonts
unless there's a Type 1 font available on the RISC OS machine (as
there should be with EFF fonts, if we've installed them properly).

Does anyone publish a list of Postscript equivalents to Acorn fonts,
or vice versa? This could be very useful both when setting up a list
in !FontPrint, and also when trying to match a font in someone else's
document.
