When the first PostScript printers were released in the mid-1980s, communication between the host computer and the print device was excruciatingly slow typically with RS232 serial ports, Apple LocalTalk ports, and early, slow parallel ports. Why? The original idea behind resident fonts was to improve performance of printing PostScript files. That having been said, there is absolutely no advantage to using the resident fonts of PostScript devices. Typically, host versions of such fonts are distributed by the printer vendor themselves. To directly answer your question, Adobe does not directly supply such fonts to end-users.
