Apparently, the charcoal font.  That's probably a TrueType font which the
LaserWriter 8 driver is properly frobbing into something the PostScript
interpreter can understand when you print to a PostScript file.  However,
gs or whatever is doing the interpreting on the NetBSD machine doesn't
have this capability.  Try using another font besides Charcoal (and why
are you using it, anyway?  I thought it was only for screen display...)

Of course, I know next to nothing about this, so it's all pretty much a
guess.  Good luck!

Later.
