So you're saying that the PDF viewed on Windows looks fine, but when 
it's converted with pdf2ps the resulting Postscript page does not look 
fine.  Correct?

If that's the case then it probably means that you're using a font - and 
a font family - that is unavailable to Ghostscript when converting the 
PDF.  If the font is not embedded in the PDF, Ghostscript (pdf2ps) will 
generally use a substitute font in its place.  If that substitute font 
does not have support for the characters being used, then you may get 
boxes instead.

The solution is to either embed the fonts into the PDF or to install the 
used fonts on the HylaFAX system where Ghostscript can get to them.  
Telling your PDF creator to embed fonts may be easier - as installing 
fonts for Ghostscript is not always the easiest thing the first time you 
do it... but if you want to go that route you should find the 
information that you need by googling.
