pdffonts shows:

name                   type       encoding   emb sub uni object ID
---------------------- ---------- ---------- --- --- --- ---------
TimesNewRoman,Italic   TrueType   WinAnsi    no  no  no       6  0
TimesNewRoman          TrueType   WinAnsi    no  no  no       7  0

Pdftops produces postscript which relies on the PS engine having
the fonts /Times-Roman and /Times-Italic built-in.  Ie, if this
works then the pdftops output also should:

%!
/Times-Roman 24 selectfont
100 200 moveto (Times-Roman) show
/Times-Italic 24 selectfont
100 100 moveto (Times-Italic) show
showpage
%

Adding pdftops’ pdfMakeFont procedure should lead to a simplified ps
which demonstrates the error.

Pdftocairo, OTOH, uses fontconfig to find a substitute and embeds that
in the postscript.  Here it ends up with the URW++ fonts from ghostscript.
