  Is there a way to use Type 1 fonts?

Here's an example:

 > more sin.rkt
#lang racket
(require plot)
(plot (function sin (- pi) pi #:label "y = sin(x)")
       #:out-file "sin.pdf")

 > racket sin.rkt
(object:2d-plot-snip% ...)

 > pdffonts sin.pdf
name                                 type              emb sub uni
object ID
------------------------------------ ----------------- --- --- ---
---------
OZFXPV+CairoFont-0-0                 CID Type 0C       yes yes yes
5  0
UEATNW+CairoFont-1-0                 CID Type 0C       yes yes yes
6  0

As a work-around it seems I can generate PS and convert:

 > more sin.rkt
#lang racket
(require plot)
(plot (function sin (- pi) pi #:label "y = sin(x)")
       #:out-file "sin.ps")

 > ps2pdf -dEPSCrop sin.ps
 > pdffonts sin.pdf
name                                 type              emb sub uni
object ID
------------------------------------ ----------------- --- --- ---
---------
TKRSLQ+f-0-0                         Type 1C           yes yes no
8  0
WYAULZ+f-1-0                         Type 1C           yes yes no
10  0

I don't think there's anything I can do about this in plot. (It just draws text on a device context after setting the font, and I don't see a way to change the PDF font in the `font%' constructor.) It's possible that a different font family will export differently, though. If that's the case, setting the `plot-font-family' parameter could work around this.
