Later in the file I can see this:

%%BeginSetup
% Fonts and encodings used
/LucidaConsoleList [
[ /LucidaConsole 1.0 0.0 ]
  [ /LucidaConsole 1.0 0.0 ]
  [ /Courier 1.000 0.000 ]
] d
%%BeginFont: Lucida Console
%!PS-Adobe-3.0 Resource-Font
%%Copyright: Copyright ╘ 1993 Bigelow & Holmes Inc. All rights reserved.
%%Creator: Converted from TrueType by Qt
...
...
%%BeginFont: LucidaConsole
%!PS-AdobeFont-1.0 Composite Font
%%FontName: LucidaConsole-Uni
%%Creator: Composite font created by Qt

From the line "Converted from TrueType by Qt" I can guess that some font 
convertions are done. Could these conversions be the source of the problem ?

Recently I've found one more detail: in the PPD file there are lines declaring 
fonts such as:
*Font AvantGarde-Book: Standard "(001.006S)" Standard ROM
and so on, about 20 lines (but unfortunely I have only some of these installed 
on my system). If I'm using one of these fonts then PS file and printouts 
looks as expected. What does this mean ? How can it affect the text->PS 
conversion ?

Are there some keys to turn verbose output, or some log files, where I can see 
if it happens in my case ?

Again, thanks a lot for you help !
