Bug#721137: ghostscript: ps2pdf produces bad pdf on x86_64 (unreadeable text)

Yes, the above test.ps is displayed nicely by evince (or gv, or whatever).
When displaying tp2A_scilab_N1.ps in evince, the display is ok, but I get
some warnings:
GPL Ghostscript 9.05: Error: Font Renderer Plugin ( FreeType ) return code = -1
Not sure whether these warnings are related with the current issue...

Well, obviously many things could be at fault here :
- the postscript creator indeed (latex + dvips)
- ps2pdf
- the pdf viewers
Or any combination of the three :-(.
Anyway, it's just a wild guess, but the garbled evince + the error msgs in xpdf
make me suspicious about the content of these pdf files.
Btw, what would you call a user bug ? I've used this kind of tex sources with T1
fontenc for ages without issues up to now.
Thanks for your help
Pierre
