well, it is possible to:

1) download
   http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/fonts/ps-type1/cm-super/pfb/sfrm1000.pfb

2) create a pdf file with this font (it is sufficient to put it into
   current directory for it to be found)

3) change it with your script, or use already changed file if you have it

4) create a pdf file with the changed font.

5) look if there are visible changes in the rendering.

i did not see any feedback in the discussions you point to as to whether
the fix makes rendering any better. it may well be the case, but i'd
like to know whether it is the case.

Best,
v.
