That's good. But I do not know what is really the best way. However, now 
I understand
what is the problem: The base Ghostscript fonts are not installed on 
Fedora, only the
equivalent URW fonts but they have different font names. This is the reason
why the Symbolfont s0l0000.pfb with its corresponding symbolic name 
StandardSymL
is not found.

You can test it:
- start gs and search the font:
------------
[voss at fedora tmp]$ gs

GS>/StandardSymL findfont
Querying operating system for font files...
Can't find (or can't open) font file 
/usr/share/ghostscript/Resource/Font//usr/share/g.
Can't find (or can't open) font file StandardSymL.
Didn't find this font on the system!

GS<1>
------------

The font isn't found and replaced by the MonoPS font, which is totaly wrong!

- Now download the file https:/hvoss.org/gs-fonts.zip and put the
    gsfonts directory into /usr/share/fonts and run gs again:

Tee embedded fonts with the unmodifued (old) pstricks.tex:

bash-3.2$ pdffonts test2.pdf
name                                 type encoding         emb sub uni

yes      8  0
[none]                               Type 3 Custom           yes no  
no      13  0
TNPASX+StandardSymL                  Type 1C Custom           yes yes 
no      10  0
LYKUVW+CMR10                         Type 1C WinAnsi          yes yes 
no      14  0


And the created PDF.
