Thanks for you reply.
I have font embeding enabled.
I'm not expert in PostScript, but in printed document I can see the line
%%DocumentFonts: LucidaConsole
LucidaConsole is the font I've used. Printed file looks on paper exactly as in 
kghostview.
Why the same font in ordinary QT widget and in ghostscript looks so differ ?
