The fonts need to be declared Latin 1, or non-ASCII Latin-1 characters will
be mapped wrong into these fonts. That "symbol" and "dingbat" fonts
now print (but in character ranges for normal ASCII Latin-1 set glyphs)
is a bug. They should not print, since their character encodings should
be different.
To see the difference, insert some accented characters into your
document (Latin-1 grave, acute, etc.) and print. You'll get the wrong
characters unless the PostScript assumes a Latin-1 mapping for its fonts.
