I have a pdf document which displays properly in acroread and
ghostscript (gv) on Solaris. Acroread shows its fonts as "embedded
subset", a variety of CM* fonts,Type 1, Encoding Roman. I presume that
these are Computer Modern with origin from Latex.

If I "print to file" from acroread I get a postscript file which has
font issues went sent to any of our Xerox postscript printers. Most
notably text which the postscript shows as in CMTT10 is spaced
incorrectly.

This postscript file does display properly in gv.

I can work around the problem by converting the original pdf
topostscript with "pdf2ps" (ghostscript based), which generates a file
that prints properly on the Xerox printers. But I'm tryiing to
understand what the problem is with the acroread (7.0) generated
postscript, and why the postscript printers don't use the embedded
subset fonts correctly.
