I've just committed a fix to CVS that corrects Type 1 font embedding. PFB files encoded in PC format (as described in the spec #5040) were not decoded which I think leads to errors on certain RIP engines. Due to lack of such a machine I can't test if this really fixes the error but it is nonetheless a likely reason for failure. I'll write to that little group of people I think have experienced this problem to find out if this really improved things.
The PFB parser I've written checks if the PFB file is encoded in PC format. If it's not, the file is parsed in exactly the same way it was parsed before I applied the bugfix. I call that format the RAW format. There's another one: MAC format. I haven't written a parser for this one. So if Mac users want to embedd Type1 fonts they should also use the PC format fonts right now. Will also add this to the trunk soon.
