Hi Alan,
Thank you for the suggestion about using \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}which I
should have tried earlier and your other suggestions. As for my odd
inclusion of packages this stems from my having to do strange things in
the past because a commercial version of TeX that I used to use would
not load Keyval so I had problems with Pstricks-add and other packages
plus I had to use an old version of Pstricks. I now use MikTex and when
I added the packages that I wanted I didn't actually get around to
deleting the unnecessary packages. Lastly, the times packages was only
just added before I uploaded my files as I was trying every PSNFSS
package including the obsolete ones and forgot to delete this before
uploading.
Cheers,
Malcolm

Hello again,
I just thought that I would mention that I just finished running the
Testflow package and I am not finding any errors in my output.

Hello,
I am not sure that this is a pstricks problem, but I created two
relatively simple figures using pstricks for publication in a scientific
journal article. Everything appears fine on my end but when I transmit
the PostScript figures to the journal the fonts appeared garbled (I
think this occurs with whatever software they are using for journal
paste-up). Below is my original source code for one of the figures and
PDFs of my original figure and the PDF that occurs at the journal
publisher as well as my original source code. Thanks for your help.
Sincerely,
Malcolm Field
p.s. I would really like a copy of the Pstricks book translated into
English if anyone is ever inclined to work on sucha prodigious project.

When I check the fonts in your .pdf files via File -> Properties in
Adobe Reader I see that your embedded fonts are converted to CID
Identity-H encoding by your publisher. My first thought is that the
encoding of the embedded fonts in your Postscript file is what's causing
the issue, though I'm no font specialist and could be far from correct.
Try adding \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} to your preamble. This will change
your font encoding to T1 (LaTeX defaults to OT1), which tends to play
more nicely with others. It wouldn't surprise me if their conversion
tool is simply reading your existing OT1 encoding as something that it
isn't.
If that fails, I suggest re-posting your question on comp.text.tex
(which you can access via Google Groups if you don't have usenet
access). There are several font specialists there who can most likely
give you the help you need. (If you wish to make your .pdfs available
there, though, I would suggest doing so via a web link rather than via
attachment.)
On another note, in looking at your .tex file it seems that most of the
packages you're using are unnecessary. I doubt that has anything to do
with your problem, but it couldn't hurt to eliminate them. AFAICT, the
only packages you need are times, SIunits, and pstricks (which
automatically loads xcolor, so you don't need color). You should be able
to eliminate geometry by saying \documentclass[12pt,legalpaper]{letter},
though I can't see how leaving it in could hurt. I do suggest replacing
times with its successor, mathptmx. I doubt it will solve your problem,
but it's good practice (as is using T1 encoding).
Alan

You use Times Roman which is not embedded. You must ensure that all
the Adobe fonts are embedded, or use something like Bitstream
Charter where embedding is automatic. Check your cfg files.
