[xep-support] Using Computer Modern Type 1 fonts

the problem is as follows: for Computer Modern fonts, names in AFM 
and in PFB differ in case. The font is named "cmr10" in cmr10.afm - 
but cmr10.pfb has "CMR10". (Strictly speaking, this is an error in the 
font). This problem manifests in PostScript only; PDF uses a different
mechanism to bind font names to outlines.

To fix, specify <font name="CMR10"   ...> (all uppercase)  in fonts.xml.
