I discovered that one can use T1, but I thought I should wait until I found
out about the 8renc.def file.

When using the T1 file, one ends up producing PK files -- Possibly, with
the 8renc.def, one could avoid that (?).

It is also interesting trying to use TS1 on say Zapf Chancery, because
everything goes haywire. -- The font substitutions that LaTeX tries when a
glyph isn't present in pzcmi8c, creates a mess instead of helping sorting
it out.
