Well, looks like that old Ghostscript is, in fact, finding the fonts. I'd try an upgrade so version 4.x or 5.x. I'm on 4.03, and the output looks good to me. The fonts are named differently on this version too -- they're .pfb's, not .gsf's (no clue). So maybe there's something in that. I've got 5.0 downloaded, but not installed yet. As soon as I need to print the PostScript generated by AcroRead again, I'll be trying it out -- it's supposed to support the compressed embedded fonts in the PostScript output that throws older GhostScripts for a loop.
