Hi,

1) Copy ???/texmf/web2c/updmap.cfg to ???/localtexmf/web2c/updmap.cfg

2) Read comments in the begining of ???/localtexmf/web2c/updmap.cfg
and change the line, describing font substitution,
from
LW35 URWkb (or LW35 URW)
to
LW35 ADOBE

3) run `updmap' from command line.

Regards,
A.V. Kuznetsov
