I'm not a gs expert, but ....
Might it be the case, that you forgot to install the gs fonts ?
There are some other tar.gz files, that need to be unpacked and
installed in the place which is compiled into gs ...
There is also a possibility to set an envirenment to enhance the
compiled in search path for fonts ...

What happens if you try to display the example Postscript
documents that are bundeled with the gs sources ?

You can use either gs directly to display it or use
ghostview or gv as frontend.

If you get runtime errors when calling gs, ghostview or gv with
the example ghostscript documents or with _your_ text file (which
might contain unknown / strange fonts), then we can perhaps better
sort out, where the real source of the failure is ...
