For the sake of argument, I will contest this. The default
setup for the ps device -- analogous to, for example,
the lj4 device -- should create output that can be sent
to the corresponding printer -- Postscript or PCL -- using
whatever fonts are provided by the device itself. As such,
the metrics should correspond to those of the builtin fonts.
Anything else should be delegated to an add-on package.
