Bitmap fonts are substituted in my case. Yuck!
Good thinking with using lmss & lmtt instead.

Really? I find the x-heights of the lm fonts much too small without the
scaling. I reckon Utopia could be scaled *down* a little bit more
actually (only a fraction, mind).
Have you tried comparing the fonts side by side on the same line?
Anyway, if you want utopia full-size, then you can just call the utopia
package after you have the fourier one.
