Hi Steven,
another way is, to show ghostscript where it can find the Mathematica
Type1-Fonts.
To do this you have to edit the Fontmap-File in the ghostscript
directory
and insert the following lines:
You have to update the path for the fonts.

% GhostScript Fontmap add-on for Windows platform

% Created by P.J. Hinton, Wolfram Research Technical Support
%
% This file is freely distributable without warranty.
%
% This file can be appended to the GhostScript Fontmap file, which
% resides in the top level GhostScript (not GSView) directory. It
% tells GhostScript where to find the Type 1 fonts that are installed
% by Mathematica 4. This will allow typeset characters in your
% graphics to appear correctly when rendered in GSView32 and when
% you convert Mathematica 4 generated PostScript files to a
% non-PostScript printer format.
%
% This file is written with the assumption that Mathematica 4
% is installed to
%
% C:\Program Files\Wolfram Research\Mathematica\4.0\
%
% If a different setup exists on your system, you will need to
% update the contents below accordingly. Note that MS-DOS=compliant
% 8+3 filenames are used here because the comments in the Fontmap
% file suggest that this is mandatory.

Now ghostscript will use the correct fonts.
