Hi,

I know I'm jumping in here sort of mid-conversation, but I've got a few 
questions/ideas:

1. Does the .ps file have the font embedded into it - I assume not.
2. If not - if you try using 'gs <ps file>', does it display errors 
saying it can't find a specified font, and is substituting another one?

3. Are you using CUPS?

The problem may be that the 'Fontmap' file that Ghostscript is using is 
probably different to the one that CUPS's version of Ghostscript is 
using.
(Fontmap is used by Ghostscript to map font names  used in .ps files to 
real font files - and CUPS has it's own copy of Ghostscript and Fontmap)
