Its not clear to me exactly what you are asking for.

If you run an existing PDF file through Ghostscritp and produce an 
equivalent PDF file using the pdfwrite device, then any fonts embedded in 
the original will be retained. Missing fonts will have substitutes created 
and embedded. The resulting PDF file will contain all required fonts but 
some will be substitutes for the originally requested fonts.

You cannot replace the fonts embedded in the document with substitutes, 
because the resulting PDF file will be degraded in quality when compared to 
the original.

This doesn't clarify your question.
