Acrobat ships the font-outlines but not the font-metrics (AFMs).
Thus you can not use them in pdfTeX, or only use them with the
metrics from the URW fonts. It is far better to use/embed the
URWs directly, since those fonts are real copies of the original
Adobe fonts and not Arial-or-something-else variants by Monotype.
