=============
Type 3 Postscript fonts are intended for embedding in jobs that will
be sent to an environment in which there is a full postscript interpreter.
Without that you can't handle Type 3 fonts. The JDK rasteriser doesn't have
such support so ideally we should reject these fonts on opening.
JDK 1.5 can in fact parse the name out of the file so will enumerate the font,
but when you try to use it, discovers problems and rejects the font, so you
will get it replaced with Dialog.
It would be better to not enumerate the font at all.
JDk 1.4.2_06 fares worse - it crashes outright when trying to use the font.
This was discovered when trying to verify bug 5096063. It appeared that the
fix was failing, but in fact it was this unrelated problem.
The recommendation would be do not install that package.
