Yes. Looks like in this screen shot:

Full PostScript output file is here:

I believe you can easily reproce that using the fonts

    http://www.suse.de/~mfabian/misc/kochi-mincho.ttf
    http://www.suse.de/~mfabian/misc/lt1-r-omega-serif.ttf

I had the same problem with all TrueType fonts which contained
thousands of glyphs.  kochi-mincho.ttf is a nice test example but
the problem seems to occur with all other big fonts as well.
