mtime is dump dump of file modification timestamp in unix time. It
is not needed, as is (not needed) size for anything, but for installer
to keep track, whether it should re-validate font file.

In your example, name should be without hyphen. And weight, not wheight
;) 

Btw. which gnome-print version are you using?

are extremely brave.

Hmmm...
I would use some TTF to Type1 converter on Arial or Times New Roman 
(should be freely downloadable from Microsoft website).
