Dear font experts! For some weeks I try very hard to generate minimal PDF documents using the PDF base 14 fonts. Now the following problem popped up: The Helvitica, Times, and Courier fonts have 8a as their default encoding. Unfortunately, the 8a encoding is somewhat incomplete because it

Hi Adam, it now works nicely. One can use the built-in Acrobat fonts without embedding and reencoding simply by not specifiying a postscript encoding when using afm2tfm. In that case the inherent encoding of the font is used and virtual fonts take care of the mapping from the specified TeX
