There are the following problems:

1. PPDs for PostScript level 3 show the problem and for PostScript level
2 not. The difference occurs when the data runs through the pdftops CUPS
filter. This filter uses the /usr/bin/pdftops utility of Poppler and in
case of PostScript level 2 and no "TTRasterizer" specified in the PPD
the option "-noembtt" gets added. With this "-noembtt" the output is
correct. In this case certain fonts from the PostScript interpreter of
the printer are used. Without "-noembtt" embedded fonts from the file
are used.

So this means that either the PDF with embedded fonts coming from the
app is faulty, or a font which got embedded is broken.

2. The PPD parser of CUPS treats the Hardy PPD for the Color LaserJet
2605 as PostScript level 2 without TTRasterizer and the Intrepid version
as PostScript level 3.
