If it's just that they look unreadable on screen, you could try a different pdf reader. I've had the experience that some strange bitmapped fonts look better on acroread (from [1]) than on kpdf, xpdf. I don't know how to replace the fonts, but maybe you could have a look at: pstoedit - a tool converting PostScript and PDF files into various vector graphic formats skencil, inkscape are programs to edit svg.
