thank you very much for the hint. Unfortunately, that did not solve
the problem.
It turns out I guessed right: the problem was with ghostscript and
font installation. Ghostscript was not knowing about the type1 fonts
in the tex installation.
I found Fontmap.cmr on CTAN and its instructions helped me solve the
problem.
