Description Werner Lemberg 2006-04-27 09:14:18 UTC 
ps2pdf doesn't convert Type42 fonts properly if the font's OS/2 table
is at version 3.  Instead of embedding the font as a TTF it is embedded
as Type 3.

The current HEAD appears to work fine with attachment 2177 [details]. A possible reason 
is the fix for Bug 688536. Closing with worksforme.
