To illustrate, ghostscript comes with its own fonts. Else it would not,
to my knowledge/recollection, know how to draw them.
A postscript file does not carry any font descriptions, only font
names. So someone (the postscript printer, or the preview utility) has
to have the font descriptions. I suppose the previewer could get them
from the system, but I seem to recall ghostscript having its own
fonts.
A non-postscript printer will typically receive only job description
commands, along with the job data. From thereon, it has to use its
loaded fonts to actually do the font rendering.

Me, too.
