pdflatex and type 3

[Christopher M. Jones]

My pdflatex generates a file using type 3 fonts. I don't have any type 3 
fonts, and so the resulting file is not right. I have looked through the 
documentation for pdftex, but the answer is not immediately obvious to me, 
and this is not something I have time to figure out. Does anybody know off 
hand what the problem is, and how I should fix it?
