Hi,
the "solution" I mentioned is of TeX nature, looks like what Rajarshi and Phil described.
So I think it could be possible to replace the font name in texmacs generated .ps with the type 1 variant. After sonsult the doc about ps2pdf, it seems not to be trivial, because ps2pdf tends to bitmapped all the fonts with non standard coding. I 'm now under Windows and don't have the chance to verify that :-<
The only clean way to do it, as Joris mentioned, is to write an exporter for texmacs itself. There are some free for non commercial purpose libs like pdflib.
Sorry if I've disappointed you
Ciao

Please, can you give us a clue (or a pointer to documentation) on how to do it?

When I wrote the converter three years ago, I just compiled a very
short LaTeX document and looked at the generated document.
The TeXmacs->Postscript converter mimicks the way LaTeX does it.

Now that pdf has become more standard, it would be worth it
to write a direct TeXmacs->pdf converter. I do not have time
at the moment to do this, but it should be too hard for
a volunteer to write such a program: you may modify
the file src/Window/PsDevice/printer.gen.cc in such a way
that it generates pdf output instead of postscript output
(the code in printer.gen.cc should be rather self-explanary,
but you may of course ask me for additional help).
If you can make this work, I will rename the file as
src/Window/PsDevice/pdf.gen.cc and make the necessary
other modifications. At a second stage, we might add
special support for hyperlinks and other typical pdf stuff.

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.

Regards,
Adam
