No worries, I'm very very happy to get the help I did! Worked
beautifully (I temporarily installed a Windows version of IDL under
linux at home using wine, and tested, happy to go to bed knowing it
will work at the office).

Ah, yes, understood. In that case of course the fonts are now fixed,
no longer modifiable by the document, as I understand it. But I think
you are incorrect in one aspect: IDL produced an EPS file when you
gave it the /encapsulated modifier for the device. Here the top lines
from my file:
%!PS-Adobe-3.0 EPSF-3.0
%%BoundingBox: 0 0 340 226
%%Title: Graphics produced by IDL
%%For: gernot@hase, C:\RSI\IDL60
%%Creator: IDL Version 6.0, Microsoft Windows (Win32 x86 m32)
...
Many thanks once again,
Gernot
