The font path to Ghostscripts font files is not found and I don't know why.
I have the same issue on macOS. But giving the path explicitely works for
me. My gs fontfiles are in "/usr/local/share/ghostscript/fonts"

ps2pdf -sFONTPATH=/usr/local/share/ghostscript/fonts/ 
-dALLOWPSTRANSPARENCY test2.ps

or alternatively:

ps2pdf -sFONTPATH=/usr/local/share/ghostscript/9.55.0/Resource/Font 
-dALLOWPSTRANSPARENCY test2.ps


bash-3.2$ pdffonts test2.pdf
