In what sense? I can use Preview (and GraphicConverter) to open PS files 
that I had previously created with LP, it's only PS files I'm creating 
now that are problematic.

Went through that, but it made no difference.

However, I had wondered if there was a font issue - it occurred to me 
that the thing that is different about the chord names compared to other 
text on the page is they appear in a sans serif font - so I added

   \override ChordName #'font-family = #'roman

to my file... and now LP typesets the file without error!

So is the problem ghostscript or the sans serif font being used? And 
exactly which font is it, anyway?
