There is a not so simple way to fix this.

Do NOT use KWord to render your text, use GhostScript.

First, you need to go to, in the Control Center:

	Peripherals -> Printers : Print Manager -> Configure Manager

Select: "Fonts" and uncheck the box: "Embed fonts in PostScript data when 
printing".  Now GhostScript will render the fonts.

You may want to install the fix for Bug #59367:

You will need to properly configure GhostScript for this to work.
