cups-pdf produces ugly , hardly readable documents

I think the title of the post says it all. System is up to date, cups-pdf setup is as in the wiki.
To illustrate what I mean, here is a sample image (try to view it full-size).

Left side created with cups-pdf, right side with the built-in "save as pdf" function of chromium.

I do not know if that is important, but the document created by chromium uses DajaVuSans fonts, but the one created by cups-pdf uses "Unknown - Type3 - embedded" fonts.

By the way, I have not used cups-pdf for a while, but I remember having created quality documents with it.

What is the problem there?
