Hi,
that's the problem we have been discussing about which fm entry to
return for a given base name + slant + extent.
I had some discussion with Hartmut, and it should be feasible to
implement what I suggested in my previous mail:

if this is implemented, in your example pdftex would check for all fm entry
with the base name 'Palatino-Roman' and select the 'right' one instead
of the first one (uplr8y) as it is doing at the moment.
