I'm working with someone who has about 5 years worth of PageMaker
documents that need to be publicly distributed as PostScript files.
The documents use a commercial font (ITC-Souveneer) that cannot
be distributed with the files, and naturally the end users aren't
likely to have this font. 

When these files are sent to a LaserWriter, Courier is substituted
for the missing font. Is there any way to force a different font
like Times to be substituted -- regardless of the consequences 
such as line and page break problems?

Doing a textual substitition for the string "/Souvenir" or "/ITC-Souvenir"
or whatever you're using with "/Times" should work.

Or, you can preface the files with a little Postscript program that creates
a copy of Times under the name Souvenir. The reencode example from the Blue
Book will show you how to do that.
