in principle it's just a matter of mapping the right names onto Serif etc, once you know what the filenames are (maybe in some psfonts.map file you can deduce the raw names)
I thought I got them. pdftex is no longer including them, or list them as included. However, in Adobe Acrobat Reader, when I look at the included fonts, the names look like Microsoft TTF names.
You mentioned tetex, and your e-mail client is GNUS, so I imagine you're probably running Linux. I don't know if this helps at all, but I just checked out the fonts in my Acrobat installation (Acrobat Reader 5.0 on Linux). The fonts are actually PostScript files ... which I guess means that they are Type 42. You should be able to confirm this with
less /path/to/Acrobat5/Resource/Font/Arial
Acrobat ships the font-outlines but not the font-metrics (AFMs). Thus you can not use them in pdfTeX, or only use them with the metrics from the URW fonts. It is far better to use/embed the URWs directly, since those fonts are real copies of the original Adobe fonts and not Arial-or-something-else variants by Monotype. Jens
