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
