No, not truncated but it is indeed an older version that starts with
%!PS-AdobeFont-1.0: NimbusRomNo9L-Medi 001.005

instead of
%!PS-AdobeFont-1.0: NimbusRomNo9L-Medi 1.05
%%CreationDate: Wed Dec 22 1999

The problem is there only with the old (1994) version of the pfb file.
I found the 1994 version fonts included in urw-fonts (from mandrake) and
AbiSuite, while the 1999 version comes with ghostscript 6, urw-fonts (from
red hat 7), tetex and XmGrace. The mandrake URW fonts package dates back
to 1998 and points to www.gimp.org, but the files are not even there any
more.
I'll send you the problematic file in private so you can take a closer
look at it.
Note to mandrake people: You should sync the urw-fonts package with
rh, their urw-fonts-2.0 is using the files from ghostscripts
gnu-gs-fonts-std-6.0.tar.gz. I guess that is post-8.0.
