In addition, I would like to report that inside the PS file I see the
same fonts, i.e., I see

* Liberation_Sans.Bold.0.0.10b6c.9a62.Set0
* Liberation_Sans.Regular.0.0.1b044.b87a.Set0
* Nimbus_Roman_No9_L.Regular.0.0.23ec4.b59e.Set0

This means that F7 was not able of indicating

> CAAAAA+LiberationSans-Bold           TrueType     yes yes yes      9  0

but OpenOffice was. I am suspecting that something is wrong with the
way F7 prints to a PS file, not indicating in the PS file the correct
fonts.
