And of course, the main problem: those fonts are not Type1 fonts, but
TrueType, and the problem existed only in Type1 fonts.
So there is no help from those fonts.
On the other hand, the IBM fonts that Yedidya pointed me at, were
Type1, so I could look at them to understand what changed in the
encoding field.
