Hi, thanks for your quick answer. Actually, the only TeX-fonts I'd like 
to use are the math ones, in particular cmsy and msam.
Even better if I wouldn't have to save the (subsetted version of the) 
font, so it would be included once globally for the pdf (thus reducing 
the file size).

Cheers,
Michael
