I just checked the generated PS files and it looks like a LilyPond and not GS 
problem.  The beginning of my PS file is:

%!PS-Adobe-3.0
%%Creator: LilyPond 2.17.0
%%Pages: 1
%%PageOrder: Ascend
%%Orientation: Portrait
%%DocumentMedia: a4 595.28 841.89 80 () ()
%%DocumentSuppliedResources: font BitstreamVeraSans-Roman
%%DocumentSuppliedResources: font Emmentaler-20
%%EndComments
%%BeginProlog

A normal LilyPond PS file generated from my input should read:

%!PS-Adobe-3.0
%%Creator: LilyPond 2.17.0
%%Pages: 1
%%PageOrder: Ascend
%%Orientation: Portrait
%%DocumentMedia: a4 595.28 841.89 80 () ()
%%DocumentSuppliedResources: font CenturySchL-Roma
%%DocumentSuppliedResources: font Emmentaler-20
%%EndComments
%%BeginProlog

So somewhere it is substituting CenturySchL for Bitstream.  I'll try to do a 
step by step comparison to find out where this happens...
