You might take a look at what kind of PostScript and PDF output you get from cairo right now, (since cairo has many different kinds of font subsetting, (type3, type42 and others), and it's regularly being tested on as many PostScript and PDF viewers as possible). I don't know if there's anything special about the PostScript output you're currently producing that wouldn't make it acceptable to use cairo's PostScript output directly. But even if you just want code, it's inside cairo under the LGPL. -Carl
