Summary: Add support for Type 42 fonts 

Initial Comment:
When parsing my psfonts.map I get errors like:

/opt/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/pyx/dvifile.py:396: UserWarning: 
Ignoring line 630 in mapping file 'psfonts.map': wrong syntax
  warnings.warn("Ignoring line %i in mapping file '%s': %s" % (lineno, 
filename, e))

Here's an example of the line that causes the error in psfonts.map:

LY1-Constantia-lnum-kern-liga-smcp--base Constantia 
"AutoEnc_brlkii5is4p7ngrcgioftapdth ReEncodeFont" <[a_brlkii.enc 
<Constan.t42

I'm pretty sure that's a good format for a type42 font. Perhaps you can 
handle it in dvifile.py?

Message:
We now ignore Type 42 lines in mapping silently (see changeset 3100).

Sorry for this belated comment, but I just wanted to remark that this is
not
a PyX bug but just a non-feature: we do not (yet) support type42 fonts.
Note also that PyX just issues a warning and ignores the corresponding
line
in the map file. If you want or need to, you can configure the Python 
warnings module (see Python docs) to not display the warning at all.

Understanding your bug to be a feature request (for Type 42) fonts, I'll
change
the title and type accordingly.
