Bug Description
Binary package hint: cups-pdf
Since upgrading from hardy-intrepid-to jaunty cups-pdf no longer embeds the fonts in the pdf file. The result is that pdf files no longer render or print properly. References of other users experiencing this problem can be seen at:

[pdf fonts all jaggy]
When I compare pages printed to cups-pdf before (hardy) with the same page printed after jaunty, I found that the 'before' pages include embedded subset fonts, the after does not. I'll attach a before and after of the 9.04 release notes page.
The problem is not present in hardy or intrepid.

Printed w/jaunty cups-pdf. Note: open in Document Viewer, Adobe Reader, etc., and look at the document properties fonts and compare with the hardy pdf; no fonts in the jaunty pdf.
