That sounds like a font substitution problem.  I'm not up on exactly how 
its done, but gs will sub from its list of fonts, something it thinks is 
suitable when an unknown font is used.  I haven't had that problem in 
years here, but then I'm a trash font picker-upper, with probably a 
hundred megs or more of oddball fonts installed where gs can find them, in 
my case in /root/.fonts I believe.  YMMV of course.
