I'm pleased to say that both my questions were sufficiently answered
for me to proceed by myself.

It seems that everything should display properly (Q1) and it's
probably my Debian sarge fonts which are faulty (Q2). Armed with this,
I powered up an old machine which didn't have the suspect sarge fonts
and my .ps file was displayed properly.

Many thanks to those who replied and no further replies are needed.
