Just more information. This seems to be a CUPS-PDF issue.

        $ pdffonts CUPS-PDF/test.pdf
        name                                 type              emb sub uni object ID
        ------------------------------------ ----------------- --- --- --- ---------
        [none]                               Type 3            yes no  yes     12  0
        $ pdffonts /tmp/out.pdf 
        name                                 type              emb sub uni object ID
        ------------------------------------ ----------------- --- --- --- ---------
        JMQJEJ+FreeMono                      CID TrueType      yes yes no      11  0

But I think to remember, someone wrote in another bug report that
CUPS-PDF is not meant for printing text. Still it is strange that Xpdf
works fine. If you gave me a hint where to assign such a report to, I
would be very thankful.
