Bug Description
Binary package hint: defoma
Ghostscript 8.61 in Hardy to Ghostscript 8.70 in 9.10
I'm trying to use ghostscript to shrink pdf / optimize pdfs for printing.
gs -dCompatibility
In this scenario, gs appears to run, but the fonts in the outputted pdf are garbled and illegible.
If I remake the pdf and don't embed the fonts, gs correctly(sort of) substitutes fonts. And then complains that the PDF should include embedded fonts. The PDF appears correct at this point albeit with the substituted fonts.

I have multiple examples, and this is very repeatable on both 8.04 and 9.10.
