Times-Roman in ps coder

Hi,
We used image macick sometimes and our app is very font sensitive. The ps coder always includes:
/Times-Roman findfont pointsize scalefont setfont
In the postscript output. This is a pain for us as this unnessacery font load causes issues when we use the postscript output. I've been patching this line out of our ImageMagick build and everything seems to work smoothly. But I thought I'd flag this as a bug as the blanket inclusion of this font may cause problems for other people as well, it doesn't seem nessacery.
I've never dug deeply enough to uncover why the coder might be blanketly including a font, my guess is this is a default so you can output text without explicitly choosing a font?
