It's precisely in some old ghostscript release notes that I read that 
non-built in fonts were not treated well. It makes sense: in addition 
to the ability to render fonts, which obviously ghostscript has, it 
needs to be able to repackage them in the way that PDF expects 
them, which is what I understood was not implemented at the time.
