The issue with the optional OpenType features is already tracked in issue 16032. Let's focus on the 
WYSIWIG aspect of printing and PDF embedding here.

The fonts are subsetted to Type1 because the PS-printing code and the PDF-exporter have not been 
extended to support CFF-embedding yet. Since some important PS-printers do not support CFF-subsets 
being able to do it via Type1 is required anyway. And the subset is about the same size.

There'll be a task for PS-printing and PDF-export to support CFF-subsets, but that is another issue. Let's 
focus on the WYSIWIG aspect of using PS-OTF in printing and PDF embedding here.
