Urp. You're losing a lot of text quality doing that (even with PS fonts, I suspect). The no, i think you are wrong here. The scaling is done by PostScript *after* the document is scaled down - we are not talking mangy CMR bitmaps here (which look ghastly when `2up'ed). Unless my understanding of PS is incorrect, you will get the same result asking for 7pt Times in the first place, and asking for 10pt but then asking PS to scale it down later.
