    Postscript FontName:   AGaramond-Italic
    Macintosh Menu Name:   AGaramond Italic
    MacOutline FileName:   AGarIta
    Windows/PC MenuName:   AGaramond
    Windows/PC FileName:   gdi_____.pfb
    
    To remap fonts you have to use two lines:
    
    /AGaramond Italic      /AGaramond-Italic   ;
    /AGaramond-Italic      (gdi_____.pfb)      ;

    Some examples:

    /Font-requested-for-printing    /A-Different-Font ;
    /A-Different-Font               (foo_____.pfb)    ;

    /Helvetica-Narrow               /Sans-Narrow    ;
    /Sans-Narrow                    (hln_____.pfb)  ;

    /Palatino-Roman                 /Palton-Roman   ;
    /Palton-Roman                   (por_____.pfb)  ;
    
    Please tell me if it worked for you, and if so I will write
    an entry for use in the FAQ.
