if you mean converting TTF to PK, that's a very bad solution: PKs are
converted to PostScript type 3 by dvips, and Acrobat is allergic to type 3.
Furthermore, in PK fonts glyphs have no names, and this means that Acrobat
cannot make the mapping to Unicode anymore: no copy-and-paste, no searches,
no indexing. And display suffers as well. No that at last all tools are
there to work with vector fonts we will not start using bitmaps again!...

Our approach is to produce small type 1 fonts with only the glyphs needed
in the documents. These glyphs have adequate names so that Acrobat knows
which Unicode characters they represent.
