Its source form is a (pretty grubby and hastily hacked) handwritten piece of PostScript, which depends on the "LMRoman12-Regular" and "LMRoman12-Italic" fonts from the lmodern Debian package. Munging that into a form that can be sent to a PS printer without confusing it is left as an exercise for the reader :-)
Oh good, that actually does work. The last time I tried to use GS in vector-to-vector filter mode, I found it had produced an output file in which the fonts superficially looked right but were in fact rasterisations of the originals, which annoyed me.
Mind you, I think that was using pswrite rather than pdfwrite. Perhaps I was hasty in concluding that it would apply to both.
