Hi Peter,
The test.ps file you attached is in fact a pdf file. This is because if you
pass -T ps to pdfmom (i.e. asking for a pdf using grops) the command is passed
to pdfroff which uses grops and ghostscript to produce the output.
The transposed fonts were fixed by Colin Watson:-

Fix transposed Bookman fonts in devpdf
Reported and tested by T. Kurt Bond.
* font/devpdf/Foundry.in (BMR, BMI): Use Italic font files for BMI, not
BMR.
Cheers
