I have often generated PostScript from Haskell... Then you convert the PS to PDF using any of the nice utilities around for that

Isn't there a problem with non-type 1 vectorial fonts being rasterized during this conversion ?
No. PDF is just a simplified, compressed encoding of PostScript. Unless there is some special reason to do so, why would a conversion utility go to the trouble of rasterizing fonts instead of just copying them in? Perhaps something like ImageMagick might do that; its internal format is a raster. Regards, Yitz
