Are you sure? The condition "same fonts" is rarely satisfied, meaning
all pages use exactly the same set of fonts. Most probably, this
condition is not even strict enough, in order for this to work you
would also have to be certain that the driver references the fonts in
the same way in unrelated documents, which is probably not true for
the PS3 driver.
In short: Read the above as "There is something called psmerge. It is
not available for RISC OS, but that is not a loss because it does not
work".
