Content Extraction from PDF failed

Hi

I'm using a X-Aplication (e.g. OpenOffice.org) to create a Postscript-File.
(File -> Print -> Print to File)

When I'm using Ghostscript 8.14, 8.50 or 8.51-CVS I cannot extract the Text
formatted with/by Truetype Fonts. Adobe Reader shows funny characters and
pdftotext from xpdf ignores the "Truetype-Text". Text that uses Type1-Fonts
for displaying can be copied from PDF.

By the way
- I know that OpenOffice.org comes with a separate PDF-Creator (but there a
other Apps on my Computer too :-)
- I don't want to use Ghostscript less than 8.xx because of the worse
Compression
- I love Linux :-)
