Doc example with two pfm fonts and png screenshot

After upgrading to 5.3.0.3, Type 1 font (like font_file_name.pfm) are not listed in the font list (checked with Calc, Draw and Write). Text document using this font (or svg pictures included in doc) are displayed with an alternative font. 

No bug previously with 5.2.x (no tested) neither with 5.3.0.0alpha+ (tested)

If i embed the font in the doc, same result (embeding with alpha+) (despite the file is very huge (8488 Ko as the fonts are only 4 Ko), perhaps an other bug to file).

By design, support for Type 1 and bitmap fonts has been dropped at 5.3

OK Thanks ! 

I will better search for solutions next time. Search engines don't gave me the information. I didn't think to look for deprecation. Now i have to find a functional font. (It's not a bug, it's a feature ;-) )
