On a 3.0ish/i386 system with suse91 libs and acrobat5, files can be
seen fine on the screen, but printing results in substituting
courier/helvetica which looks atrocious.

An example file with the problem is:

http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~ushankar/research/stepping/raid-multiscale.pdf

diffing the ps produced by print-to-file on the problem system with a
system that's got slightly different software, it looks like the fonts
aren't being included (ps that views/prints badly is the one without
the extra lines below).

This is particularly baffling since it happens with CM fonts included
in the pdf.
