Printing to pdf in Konqueror

I have a strange problem with printing to pdf in konqeror. First when i want to print with a preview, i get a message "Preview failed: unable to start program PostScript Info." But I can continue to print. However, once the pdf is created, the fonts look really terrible.

I installed the cups-pdf and tried using that method through konqueror and still got crappy fonts. However, when I used firefox + cups-pdf on the same web page, the fonts looked perfect.

Although I use firefox most of the time, I still need to print stuff from Kmail (html stuff).  Is there any way to adjust this strange bug?

I'm using kdemod and had the same error message when opening print preview. Installing kdemod-kdegraphics-kghostview did help there. But i doubt it will help with your fonts problem.
