Vincent,

  Could be. I've never encountered this regardless of how the PostScript
file was generated. However, I have two suggestions for you:

  1) Run the command as a user. Save running as 'root' for when you must do
so. Decrease the pain of an inadvertent error.

  2) Read the ps2pdf man page. It may tell you something about the fonts it
wants.
