Problem with Embedded fonts

I am using Itext(1.3.4) to create pdfs, and using hylafax(v4.2.1) as
the fax server to fax them. I use gnu-hylafax(v0.0.8.3) as the Java
API to hylafax.

Hylafax uses GhostScript to convert the PDFs to gs to fax them. About
30% of the faxes fail because the hylafax converter program (pdf2ps)
determined that there was a problem:

"**** Warning: An error occurred while reading an XREF table.
**** The file has been damaged. This may have been caused
**** by a problem while converting or transfering the file.
**** Ghostscript will attempt to recover the data.
Error: /ioerror in --readstring--
<...snipped...>
Check any PostScript documents for non-standard fonts and invalid constructs."

All the PDFs in appear fine when viewed in the Acrobat viewer. When I
view them in GS (solaris v8.14) it appears fine, but this message is
shown:

"Loading NimbusSanL-Regu font from
/usr/local/share/ghostscript/8.14/lib/fonts/n019003l.pfb... 2257168
902873 2169348 879445 3 done.
**** Warning: Fonts with Subtype = /TrueType should be embedded.
But Verdana is not embedded.
Scanning /usr/openwin/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/outline for fonts... 16
files, 15 scanned, 0 new fonts.
Substituting font Helvetica for Verdana."

My document uses the Verdana True type font. I embed it in the code by:

...
bfVerdana = BaseFont.createFont(FONTDIR +
BODYFONTNAME, BaseFont.CP1252, BaseFont.EMBEDDED);
fontVerdana10 = new Font(bfVerdana, 10, Font.NORMAL);
...

Does anyone have any thoughts on why GS and pdf2ps don't recognize the
embedded font?

Thanks in advance for any and all help. Please let me know if I can
give more information.
