It refers to the "sub" column, which is "no" for all the fonts for me,
meaning that the full character sets have been embedded. Therefore my
printed PDF weighs in at more than 270 KB. Your system is smarter and
only embeds the font data for the characters that are actually used in
the document.
If I print the same page to postscript from iceweasel and distil that to
a PDF with ghostscript then the PDF has only the necessary subsets
embedded and it is 90 KB. I then get the same "ugly" font names in the
output of pdffonts that you have, by the way.
