The problem you have looks like a general problem with the Adobe
standard fonts (Times, Helvetica). Are you sure it's specific to
prosper? Try the following file to see if the problem recurs:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{times}
\begin{document}
Hello!
\end{document}
If the above file gives similar problems, then your PostScript map
files are probably messed up; see below. If it works fine, then
prosper is somehow responsible. The following error suggests that
the problem might be related to using the T1 encoding.
> gsftopk: fatal: dvips config file `psfonts_t1.map' not found.
To check if this is the case, try the following file.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{times}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\begin{document}
Hello!
\end{document}
Now to some deeper diagnostics.

Very strange indeed. Dvips is trying to create ptmb (Times-Bold)
from a metafont source, which is impossible given that the font
doesn't have a metafont source: it is one of the 35 PostScript
fonts resident in every printer, and as such dvips is not even
supposed to try to embed it.
Normally, dvips gets information about PostScript fonts from the
file $TEXMF/dvips/config/psfonts.map ; it should have the following
lines:
phvr8r Helvetica "TeXBase1Encoding ReEncodeFont" <8r.enc
ptmb8r Times-Bold "TeXBase1Encoding ReEncodeFont" <8r.enc
If the lines are not there, you may need to add them; check if they
exist in $TEXMF/dvips/config/psnfss.map , and if they exist, update
your psfonts.map using your TeX distribution's update utility (in
teTeX it's called updmap).
If the lines do exist in psfonts.map then dvips must be looking at
a different map file; try to figure it out from the log...
I hope this helps, -Ron.
