The problem with PDF is that in order to generate good PDF output one needs 
access to the font glyph geometry tables. In MSEgui PS driver the precision 
padding is done by Postscript functions in the printer or the ghostscript 
program which knows exactly what fonts are used. I don't want to open a can 
of worms and search in all of the different user setups for font files. ;-)
Additional there can be copyright issues by embedding fonts into PDF's.
Please use ps2pdf if you need PDF output.
