You mentioned tetex, and your e-mail client is GNUS, so I imagine you're
probably running Linux. I don't know if this helps at all, but I just
checked out the fonts in my Acrobat installation (Acrobat Reader 5.0 on
Linux). The fonts are actually PostScript files ... which I guess means
that they are Type 42. You should be able to confirm this with

  less /path/to/Acrobat5/Resource/Font/Arial

Does PDFTeX support Type 42 fonts?
