Are you talking about embedding fonts in post script files?

I have similar problem: we are building software that will generate thousands of file by template. So fonts will be the same for all files. Embedding fonts in would cost in file size growth and performance problems.
Is there any way to have file with fonts and reference that file from other post script files?
