Under "Limitations":
"ps2pdf will sometimes convert text to high-resolution bitmapped fonts
rather than to embedded outline fonts. This will occur when the
PostScript file uses Type 3, CIDFontType 1, or CIDFontType 4 fonts, or
Type 0 fonts that reference any of these; it may also occur in some
cases if the input file uses fonts with non-standard encodings, or in
some other rare cases."

Sorry if I've disappointed you
No, that's OK. Another way would be somehow rewrite the postscript
output so it only outputs Type 1 fonts and then use ps2pdf instead of
writing a separate PDF encoder.
