not at all!! almost any picture you put in inflates the
postscript in a much bigger way. i just did a test
with just a logo and a image bar across the pages and
the resulting file is huge, but the comic-sans-ms-bold font
only takes about 14% of the postscript. the actual presentation
text takes about 4% and the rest is taken up by the two images.

this is very cool! i tried with comicsansms-bold and
works and prints the font like a charm!

problem is that just changing /Helvetica to /ComicSansMS-Bold
in the output from mgp2ps results in larger fonts and
the text ends up printing off the page.

i though that fonts in postscript at the same size occupied
the same space rendered in a page, no?
