[pdftex] How to force inclusion of ALL fonts in produced .pdf?

[h+i]

I would guess that the one and only way for PC´s is to have all  included as 
pfb-files which are loaded via "<.....pfb" in the psfont.map. Even pfa-files 
might do.

All other ways demand special abilities of your computer or your programs.
