This may not be enough info as it says nothing about what fonts you have
installed! But let me take a guess anyway...

You need to provide the appropriate map file for dvips to pick up the
postscript Type 1 fonts. Clearly you have *an* appropriate map file as
pdftex and dvipdfm are picking up the fonts. Perhaps you need to install
"psfontmgr" and "defoma".
Also as far as I know Postscript can only handle Postscript fonts whereas
PDF can handle True Type fonts as well.
Hope this helps,
Kapil.
