Okay. Reporting back on how that worked:

With Intellifonts it wasn't completely successful.

It did work to create an obliqued version of Triumvirate that is its own
family (CS TriumvirateObl and CS TriumvirateObl-Bold) with uniqueIDs of its
own. And these fonts display and print fine to a laserwriter
(non-postscript) compatible printer.

But it fails when generating postscript from the intellifonts. Pagestream
fails to generate the matching postscript (*.pfb) files that are actually
used to print postscript.

Best solution, I guess, is to generate type1 postscript files of the above
instead of intellifonts. That will work fine for generating pdf compatible
postscript that will allow emedding fonts, but loses the advantage that
intellifonts offer of speedy screen display. It also loses the advantage of
being able to generate some of the characters beyond the standard 255
characters.

I will report this as a bug, but I don't expect it will get any attention
since I believe intellifonts are being abandoned in favor of truetype.
