First let me say thank you.  The pdflatex solution did indeed work.
Unfortunately, this is not a permanent solution.  There are indeed
differences (both internally and in regards to output) between pdflatex
and the latex->dvips->ps2pdf way of doing things.  Being one that uses
bibTeX and a few other oddities, I have become quite accustomed to the
latex route.  Is there a way to correct the --psfonts problem?

Thank you again for your time and assistance.  I feel much better having
this paper finally printed out.  Now to find this DejaVuLGC font
everybody keeps talking about so I can get my Lyric Ties working!

Cheers!
