OK, that is fine by me too.  I plan on doing something like this for
the vtkGL2PSExporter.

if (gl2ps != NULL) {
   if (gl2ps->format == GL2PS_PDF) {
      // replace Arial with Helvetica
      // handle fonts to use standard ones only.
   }
   else {
      // do existing stuff since that works for other formats.
   }
}

I also tested the fonts that Micha was suggesting and they all work
great!  Let me know if you see anything wrong in the above.

Thanks Micha and Christophe for the tips!

cheers,
