  I used to magically obtain cropped-PDFs from EPS files (obtained by dvips -E option)
  by using ghostscript ps2pdf utility.

Thanks! You are right. I didn't think of that possibility. There was a
old version sticking somewhere in the system (I hate that thing called
FontBook!). I kicked all the old ones to Trash and copied the new one
into systems/fonts folder. Now it works!
But the font is called by different names by different applications:
"Times New Roman" but "TimesNewRomanPSMT" in the PDF and if I cut it
from Acrobat Reader and put it in OpenOffice writer in Fedora Linux it
turns-up as "ZLQPTI+TimesNewRomanPSMT" but all the UTF-8 characters
intact. Thats nice!
