My tries to embed the Adobe Helvetica (ArialMT) font into my PDF
docs failed. What went wrong?

I copied the _a*_.pfb files to (local-)texmf/font/type1/adobe/helvetic
and renamed them to phv??8a.pfb. The *.tfm,*.vf and *.afm files
from texmf/???/adobe/helvetic/ (the only one i found) were also
copied to the local font tree.
After studdiing the *.tfm names and ec-adobe-utopia.map I wrote the
following map file...

ec-adobe-helvetic.map:
	ec-raw-phvb Arial-BoldMT 4 < phvb8a.pfb ec.enc
	ec-raw-phvbo Arial-BoldItalicMT 4 < phvbo8a.pfb ec.enc
	ec-raw-phvr ArialMT 4 < phvr8a.pfb ec.enc
	ec-raw-phvro Arial-ItalicMT 4 < phvro8a.pfb ec.enc

...
\setupbodyfont[phv,12pt]
\loadmapfile[ec-adobe-helvetic.map]
\definefontsynonym[Helvetica][phvr][encoding=ec]
\definefontsynonym[Helvetica-Bold][phvb][encoding=ec]
\definefontsynonym[Helvetica-BoldOblique][phvbo][encoding=ec]
\definefontsynonym[Helvetica-Oblique][phvro][encoding=ec]
\setupbodyfont[ss]
...

The resulting PDF uses the ArialMT font family but the fonts are
not embedded. Any help is welcome...
