Follow-up Comment #3, bug #50989 (project groff):

This is a strange one. Type 1 fonts come in two flavours which handle the
binary part of the font differently. .pfa uses hex encoded ascii, and .pfb has
raw binary. The way to differentiate is that a .pfb file is meant to have six
bytes of binary data on the front of the file which define the length of the
first block. The new CenturySchoolbook fonts from ghostscript are raw binary
but do not have this binary header.

So the problem is in gropdf, I'm working on a solution. :-)

Cheers 

Deri
