If you decode the AIX3.1 Helvetica and Times-Roman fonts into readable
ascii, you will see that they depends on some dicts and functions only
available in some versions (?) of Display PostScript. The collection of
DPS fonts you get with AIX3.2 does not have such dependencies.

No and yes, but it is not worth it - you need a really good knowledge
about the internals of PostScript Type1 fonts.

>Are the fonts in AIX 3.2 different from those in AIX 3.1 ?
Yes, pluss some extra fonts: AGaramond-*, BrushScript, Hobo, and Stencil.
