Yes, you may well be right that it's related to the font encodings.

Have you read the printing-problem README in /usr/share/doc/xprint?
There are a couple of ideas for workarounds there.  Don't personalise
the fonts in mozilla (remove font references from prefs.js), and restart
mozilla before printing again (the first print seems to work fine, the
second print has the spacing problems.

I apologise for the inconveniences.
