Actually, I don't see why we should use TrueType fonts instead of Type1 fonts. There is a set of excellent Type1 fonts from URW included in gsfonts package under GPL; there is an extension of these fonts with Cyrillic glyphs by Valek Filippov (ftp://ftp.gnome.ru/fonts/urw/README), also under GPL, and soon to be included into gsfonts; Valek also said that he successfully converted URW fonts to TrueType, using pfaedit btw. Can someone explain what is the problem with switching to Type1 altogether? -- Dmitry Borodaenko
