As for the fonts, there is nearly nothing what can be done but installing
all the needed fonts, as obviously the needed fonts are not embedded
in the PDFs you print.

See if you have a utility named pdffonts; if yes, run
pdffonts your_pdf_file
and post the output.
If not, send me a sample PDF.
Maybe I can give you some hints where to get the fonts and how to make 
Ghostscript find them.
