I wouldn't embed if you are using a TrueType font (unless you have a 
PostScript printer), but you MUST make sure that GhostScript can find your 
fonts.  Best way is to build the font search path into GhostScript.  Distos 
do this; to find the distro's search path, open a Konsole and execute:

	GS_LIB=""
	export GS_LIB
	gs --help

and read the: "Search path".  Install the fonts in one of those directories.

If the PS file doesn't have the correct name, add an alias to the Fontmap 
file or try the patch for Qt:

I have never tested this patch with anything but 8 bit Latin, Greek, and 
Cyrillic fonts.  Chinese fonts (any UNICode -- 16 bit font) might break it. 
  But, if you want to test it, it would be appreciated (if you need help 
doing so, contact me by private e-mail).

If you have to embed a TrueType font, use OpenOffice.
