I didn't know this trick, and it works! I've tried it with a page full of funky
fonts, and it comes out OK. Next step is trying with my unfinished Astou
grammar, which until now refused to get pdf-ized through dvipdfm, and who got
OK through PDFTeX, but the funky fonts used there didn't work out that good....
Well, once tried, I find it less good than PDFTeX. At least that one gets the
normal fonts correctly, while the converter of Ghostview makes a mess out of
the whole text, regardless of the font (at least, it keeps a unity of
looks :)) ).

Well, thanks for the tip, but the tools I already have work better. I'll just
keep it in mind in case I come to points where they don't work anymore :)) .
