Yes, say: some of them.

You're right.  I am able to change obj_tab_size or 
extra_mem_bot.pdflatex, e.g., to some other values, and those values 
are used as my log-file reports it.  So firstly, the texmf.cnf-file 
in which the changes are done is used.  So the question remains: 
What is the name of the environment variable that has an effect on 
pdf_mem_size?  Obviously, the name is not "pdf_mem_size".  Or is that 
value hard-wired into pdf(e)latex?

Yes, refer to my first posting here: the problem arose while I was 
trying to achieve font expansion to some other fonts, namely the 
Euler-fonts.

That's the point: HOW?
