Hi Oliver,

The problem is probably not ghostscript, current gropdf moans about "too many 
glyphs" when it can't allocate all used to 8 bit code points. This too will be 
addressed in the next version of gropdf, which addresses problems of very 
large fonts with thousands of different glyphs.

Cheers
