PDFImageRep: Loading fonts at runtime

[stefan]

Hi folks,

As some of you may know i'am currently working on an PDFImageRep that
displays PDF documents without the hassle of using ghostscript for
rendering. One of my (numerous :-)) problems are embedded fonts that
are needed to display the document correct. One possibility is to
install thousands of fonts so that the embedded fonts are not needed
- this is obviously a very bad solution. I can extract an embedded
font as Type1 into a file. The question is if it is possible to
load such a font at runtime, especially with backart on which my
development is foucsed.

thanks
