Ah, yes. This is still true. dvips does need the fontname entries. teTeX
users can use the updmap script which generates map files for several
applications (dvips, xdvi, gsftopk, ps2pk, pdftex). The script takes
care of the different characteristics of the applications.

The version contained in the next teTeX-beta will fix this pdftex
problem. Entries with Slant or Extend will no longer have the fontname.

Ok, so I assume that there is no problem with dvips.
