The TeXmacs->Postscript converter mimicks the way LaTeX does it.

Thanks for the tips Joris. ConTeXt has exceptional PDF generation
capabilities. Perhaps I should take a look at how Hans Hagen does it.
As to Dung TaQuang's comment "you can replace Type3 cmr with the Type 1
Variant" I echo David's question "Please, can you give us a clue (or a
pointer to documentation) on how to do it?" because choosing a different
font from TeXmacs' Document menu appears to make no difference.
