We had this problem in Australia with the Australian Research Council a
few years back. They wanted to scan all research applications so they
decided the only fonts could be Times, Helvetica and a few others -
I guess it made the scanning easier.    We
protested that mathematicians needed LaTeX and got them to accept
CMR.  The exact wording is:


>Submit all pages in black type, use a single column and 12 point 
>font size on white A4 paper,
>printed on one side only and unbound with at least a 2 cm margin on 
>each side. As applications are
>scanned electronically, applicants must use a highly legible font 
>type such as Arial, Courier,
>Palatino, Times New Roman or Helvetica. Variants such as 
>mathematical typesetting languages
>may also be used.

I don't know if this approach will work for you !
