And this is really dangerous. Adobe specifications say that
Times-Roman, Helvetica, Courier and a few other fonts have to be
identical everywhere. In fact they are different even in different
versions of Adobe Acrobat. I relied that there is just on Times-Roman.
The result of this misbelief was that accents created by means of a
virtual font were shifted two characters to the right and almost all
interword spaces disappeared. If you send a few houndred pages to a
phototypesetter, you lose quite a lot of money if you believe that
Helvetica is Helvetica...
