1. Helvetica either embeds or converts to outlines depending on the font size.
2. With -dTextAlphaBits=4 got an empty document.

Will attach examples soon.

test17 converts to outlines, test16 embeds. Only difference is the font size.

I have this bug on Linux RH9 and MacIntosh 9.2 with GNU GS 7.07 .
Comment 9 Igor Melichev 2004-03-09 02:37:05 UTC 
Comment #3 appears wrong. Here is a corrected one :

test17 converts to outlines, test16 converts to bitmaps. Only difference is the 
font size.
Comment 10 Igor Melichev 2004-03-09 02:49:57 UTC 
The dependence is whether a character is cached. We consider this is a normal 
behavior of the current pswrite. Further improvements to be considered as a 
part of 686919.
