Check your manual, pages 1.28 through 1.33.  The following seem
relevant:  there are two versions of many fonts: CS fonts have witdths
identical to their postscript counterparts.  CG fonts do not; the
fonts included with pagestream are CS fonts.  Compugraphic fonts are
not normally compatible with postscript printers, postscript users
should get postscript type 1 fonts.  The compugraphic fonts included
with pagestream will print to postscript printers because they have
postscript equivalents.

"Compugraphic fonts sold separately be companies such as AGFA and Gold
Disk may be used with Pagestream, but not those bundled with other
programs."

If you want to be able to use all of the fonts in your postscript
printer, try getting the "PageStream Fonts Plus Pak".  It has
equivalent font files for screen display and non-postscript printing. 
It also has the PostScript header files for all 35 of the standard
postscript fonts.
