[Tex/LaTex] Using Times New Roman in eps images with psfrag

epsfontspsfrag

I'm using the chemstyle package to produce chemical reaction schemes. It uses the psfrag package to replace placeholders in eps graphics with numbers for molecules. I'm trying to use Times New Roman font in these eps files (not for the placeholders, but for other text), but LaTeX doesn't seem to like it:

### /usr/texbin/dvips -R -Poutline  -o /tmp/altpdflatex.31054-1317561093/Thesis.ps Thesis.dvi This is dvips(k) 5.97 Copyright 2008 Radical Eye Software (www.radicaleye.com) ' TeX output 2011.10.03:0011' -> /tmp/altpdflatex.31054-1317561093/Thesis.ps /usr/texbin/dvips: ! Couldn't find header file times.pfb. Note that an absolute path or a relative path with .. are denied in -R2 mode.
### FAILED to generate /tmp/altpdflatex.31054-1317561093/Thesis.ps ()

Is it possible to fix this, using LaTeX rather than pdfLaTeX? Where might I find such a header file?

Edit: The Times New Roman text was added in ChemDraw. The eps in question is a chemical scheme, so I draw these in ChemDraw, sometimes with additional text. I'd like that text to match the font I'm using for LaTeX (TNR).

Edit2: An example eps: http://www.2shared.com/file/upfvXkpS/Test.html

For me, this works fine using TeX Live 2011 on Windows 7.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{auto-pst-pdf,chemscheme}
\begin{document}
\begin{figure}
  \includegraphics{Test}
\end{figure}
\end{document}

My demo file builds as expected using pdlatex or latex -> dvips -> ps2pdf. As egreg says, to say more we'll need an example of what you are doing.

(As an aside, I would urge against using a serif font in your schemes and figures. Sticking to sans serif looks much better for these: see any of the common journal templates.)
