overprinting with spot colors did not work

Info

When printing separations from PDF documents, spot colors which
should overprint could incorrectly knock out the other plates.
Also fixed:
- The conversion of DeviceN colors to their alternate representation
(e.g. CMYK) could produce slightly wrong results if the DeviceN
color space used a PDF Type 0 (sampled) function.
- Missing or wrong glyphs could be displayed for embedded TrueType
fonts if the TrueType font had no 'post' table and MacRoman
encoding was specified in the PDF font dictionary.
- Images in Type 3 fonts ("bitmap fonts") could be downsampled to a
much too small resolution if downsampling was active, e.g. for
layout generation.
- For PDF documents with embedded CFF Fonts containing a
"BaseFontBlend" entry, Acrobat Distiller could fail on the
PostScript generated by PDF Handshake.
- In OPI 2.0 comments written by PDF Handshake, the %%ImageDimensions
and %%ImageCropRect comments could be missing.
