Making PDF files with ps2pdf does not handle certain Type 1 postscript
fonts correctly. An example of this is the "r" character in the
concrete Type 1 fonts (I can supply a pfb file if necessary). Look
at the two files that I have included in this email. The first is a
postscript file generated by TeX; the second is the PDF generated from
the first file by ps2pdf. Compare the r's in the two files. As you
can see, the r's in the second file looks different from the first.
Apparently, something goes wrong at the tip of the "r." The tip is not
generated completely, which throws off the rest of the letter. This
causes the base to be fatter than normal, since the outline is not
traced correctly.
Note that PDFs generated by Acrobat distiller do not have this defect;
therefore, the font itself is not at fault. Also, if the pfb file
is edited (say with the pfaedit program) and the outline of the "r"
character is changed from being drawn in a clockwise direction to a
counterclockwise direction (with no other changes), the resulting PDF
file generated by ps2pdf does not have this defect.
