Certain fonts like Zapf Chancery and Symbol (the Apple version anyway, maybe not the Adobe version) do not have the capability to print bold to a Postscript device. They show bold on your screen because QuickDraw makes them bold, but to be bold in Postscript the capability has to be built into the font. -- Dana E.
