This is effectively what we were doing before we started embedding PS
fonts in matplotlib (0.61 I believe). So you can check out a CVS
version prior to that and take a look. It might be nice to support
this as an rc option, to use afm fonts. matplotlib has an afm parser
and ships with the standard afm files.
