Problem #1 - letters missing on other systems:
Add |addpsfonts to your pipeline to create a PS with
the local fonts added.

Problem #2 - half Times-Roman, half Lucida Sans documents:
Since only the Lucida fonts have the characters you want,
the solution is to write the whole document in Lucida.
If you are using -ms macros, add

   .FP lucidasans

to the top of your document.  If you are not using -ms macros
you can use the equivalent but longer

    .fp 1 R LucidaSans
    .fp 2 I LucidaSansI
    .fp 3 B LucidaSansB
    .fp 5 CW LucidaCW
