Yes. And the altpdftex (documentation: altpdftex --help) script from my 
TeX distribution gives you some finegrained control on the choice of 
fonts to use when both PS and METAFONT descriptions are available (it 
goes to far to discuss the complexities here).

If someone sends me a TeX file and how pdf out *should* look I'll be 
happy to investigate to see if I can get it working or explain what you 
have to do to get it working.
