Hi, I tried to reproduce the error on another Debian testing machine, but I was not able to do so. At the moment I do not have access to the machine with the error. However I will test tomorrow if setting the default font fixes the problem. From what I remember: A postscript file is generated that can not be viewed in Evince, Okular oder Ghostscript. When opening with Ghostscript I got the error that it could not find the font file /usr/share/ghostscript/9.05/Resource/Font/{} Thus this sounds pretty much like what is described in your reference [1].
