The file postscript prolog texps.pro (part of dvips) expects certain
information to be present in each font disctionary.  Two keys it
expects, isFixedPitch and CharStrings, are not defined in the
ghostscript 1.3beta4 fonts.  The `Error: /undefined in /get' messages
should go away when you define these symbols in the ghostscript font
files.  An example patch to tim_r.gsf is:

diff -bcr orig/tim_b.gsf ./tim_b.gsf
*** orig/tim_b.gsf	Fri Jan 26 08:49:39 1990
--- ./tim_b.gsf	Sun Jul 22 18:27:36 1990

I'll be glad to mail the complete set (22K) of diffs to interested parties.
