Yes, I used the textures cmr fonts on kaliedagraph and superpaint 
figures.  On many, I even cut and pasted (option-paste) equations 
from the textures typset window onto the figures.  I can do similar 
in OSX using eqn service and omnigraffle (actually even nicer than in 
OS9).  In OSX, I see the cmr fonts in some applications, but I don't 
know if these are from the teTeX installation or the old texturs 
install.  In any case, they don't see to work well in other apps 
(e.g., typing text you see math symbols...).

In any case, I have a not-so-easy solution.  In my OS9 app, print to 
.eps w/ inclusion of non-standard fonts, then convert to pdf -- and 
edit the bounding box as needed.  I guess I will not convert all my 
old stuff, but just do it as I need...  I am surprised that I am the 
only one dealing with this.
