This has been discussed by the font guru Walter Schmidt on
[EMAIL PROTECTED] recently. I'll try to give a summary in
English here.
"-Ppdf" reads config.pdf; inside is an option "G1" which should really
be set to "G0". If you don't want to mess with this configuration
file, use "dvips -Ppdf -G0". You can also use "dvips -Pcms" (or "dvips
-Pwww" if the latter doesn't work), this way you'll get TrueType
Fonts.
"G0" turns off the non-standard features of config.pdf. The reason why
"G1" is set is a bug with acroread < 4.05 and PCL printers. The
behaviour you noticed is a side effect of a not well-documented
work-around.
I hope this helps!
