Perhaps [1] can be of help. They have converted the latex fonts to
postscript fonts with metatype [2].

# apt-get install lmodern

And I think they will call the font lmss something:

$ grep lmss /var/lib/dpkg/info/lmodern.list | grep lmss | grep pfb
/usr/share/texmf/fonts/type1/public/lm/lmssbx10.pfb
...
/usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1/lmssbx10.pfb
...
$
