I guess only I can tell ;-)

Yes, indeed, that is what I get, too.

Aha, here seems to be the difference. I get the CMR font embedded as a Type 1 font:

%!FontType1-1.0: SFRM1000 0.3
%%CreationDate: Wed Sep 12 2001

11 dict begin
/FontInfo 6 dict dup begin
/version (0.3) def
/FullName (Computer Modern Roman) def
/FamilyName (Computer Modern) def
/ItalicAngle 0 def
/isFixedPitch false def
/Weight (Medium) def
end readonly def
/FontName /PRAIQJ+SFRM1000 def
/Encoding StandardEncoding def
/PaintType 0 def
/FontType 1 def
/FontMatrix [0.001 0 0 0.001 0 0] def
/FontBBox{-189 -321 1456 937}readonly def
currentdict end
currentfile eexec
...

I have no clue why which font would get embedded.
So I was just lucky that it worked for me.

Cheers,
Michael
