Have you checked the following items:

* Enabled "Embed Fonts in PostScript Data when Printing" (start "kprinter -->
   click "Expand" --> click "System Options..." --> click "Fonts" [on the left]
   --> enable checkbox [on top]

* Set up all Font Paths in KDEPrint (same dialog)

* Told CUPS where to find fonts (see "FontPath" setting in cupsd.conf)

* Told Ghostscript where to find fonts (check "Search Path" in output of
   "gs -h" and set symlinks if required)

??
