I agree: The main problem is, that evince/poppler/cairo cannot print Type 3
fonts. But 

 - I regularly receive or download some PDF files with Type 3 fonts

 - Evince _can show_ them correctly on the screen 
   (with each letter markable on its own)

 - Adobe Reader can show them correctly on the screen and 
   print them to PostScript

 - Evince cannot print them.

And if I look at many bug reports in the Internet, I'm not the only one
receiving such documents. (Actually there are much more bug reports I consider
to be related as those two linked in my original posting.)

So, thanks for pointing out the LaTeX behaviour. Indeed, the EC package can
solve it as it switches to Type 1 fonts. But this is only of help, if I have
the LaTeX sources.

Again thanks James and best regards,

Simon
