The PDF was generated from Microsoft Office Word 2003 (11.8169.8172) SP3 printing to CutePDF
http://www.cutepdf.com/products/cutepdf/Writer.asp#download. I assume CutePDF pretends to be a plain-vanilla PS printer device, and it then uses PS2PDF with Ghostscript as a backend to write out the PDF file. I assume there is a temporary PS file generated somewhere in the process, but CutePDF deletes it after use.

I'm ready to believe that MS Word does any kind of nasty thing when subsetting the font, especially given it's just printing, and doesn't realize it's actually making a PDF file.
