[tex-live] xdvipdfmx-0.7.8 has problems with the font ptmr7t

[Peter Dyballa]

Hello!

While trying to understand a problem with PS Tricks and XeTeX I also  
used an elder file with the statement

	\rput(2,3){\fontsize{0.5in}{0.7in}\fontfamily{ptm}\selectfont X}

When I hard link the XDV file as file.xdv.dvi I can use disdvi and see  
that an OT1 encoded font variant gets used:

	005313: FNT_DEF1: 15
	005315:           checksum         : 104037337
	005319:           scale            : 2368143
	005323:           design           : 655360
	005327:           name             : ptmr7t
	005335: FONT_15              /* ptmr7t */
	005336: Char:     X

xdvipdfmx-0.7.8 of TeX Life 2010 (but not 2009 or 2008) has a problem  
with that font and its encoding:

That it's a scalable and embedable PostScript Type 1 font (also  
available in other format) is not discovered anymore... (and the  
resulting PDF has a Type 3 font embedded)
