This is only true of ghostscript version <6.0. Pre-6.0 could only
encode non-bitmapped fonts if they were the standard Adobe 35. 6.0 and
later do full curve rendering for all fonts, at least they should. My
book PDF's that were used to print certainly were not bitmapped fonts.
I have tons of PDF's on my web site, and none use bitmapped fonts. All
used ghoscript 6.01.
