Albert,
first of all thanks for your time spent in looking into this issue.

The command "pdftops myfile.pdf" works fine: a mypile.ps is produced in the
same directory of the source PDF file.

The command "gs myfile.ps" fails with the following output:

Then i've tried to feed "gs" with an additional path for " NimbusSanL-Bold"
font, of which I now it's installed in /usr/share/fonts/urw-fonts. I did this
using -sFONTPATH option for "gs":

This time it worked...
Could it be a distro-specific problem?
