Actually for those willing to pay, CM outline fonts have been available
for some time from some company whose name eludes me now.  From what I
hear scaled fonts are not quite as good as tailored fonts, but one can
live with that to cut down disk storage.  Also if your DVI printing is
slow you probably have an inefficient driver. We get close to full
rated speed after startup time. Part of the trick is to download width
information and use show on as long a string as possible.
