I had the same problem when I first used dvitps.
                        
It seems that the Enviroment variables for the dvitps program
aren't set. So it can't find the fonts. :-(
                        
You can fix it if you set the following variables:
                        
TEXFONTS_DVITPS_GF
TEXFONTS_DVITPS_PK
TEXFONTS_DVITPS_PDR
TEXFONTS_DVITPS_PD
               
The syntax is:

<path_for_PS-Fonts>:.:<path_for_TeX_fonts>

In my installation they are set:

TEXFONTS_DVITPS_GF = $TEXPATH/TeXPS/ps-fonts/gf:.:$TEXPATH/fonts
TEXFONTS_DVITPS_PK = $TEXPATH/TeXPS/ps-fonts/pk:.:$TEXPATH/fonts"
TEXFONTS_DVITPS_PDR = $TEXPATH/TeXPS/ps-fonts:.:$TEXPATH/fonts"
TEXFONTS_DVITPS = $TEXPATH/TeXPS/ps-fonts:.:$TEXPATH/fonts"

$TEXPATH indicates where TeX is installed.

I hope you can fix the problem now.

Volker
