I would say your problem is quite different. ;-)

If you want to use pstricks with pdflatex look at the pst-pdf or
auto-pst-pdf package.

The characters are irrelevant.

latex run worked without problems.

dvips worked fine too: this is an absolutly normal output. What is
your problem? Didn't you get a minimal.ps?

Btw: You should install the cm-super package (large package! can
take some time) or use the lmodern fonts (\usepackage{lmodern)) so
that dvips doesn't have to use bitmap fonts (and generate them at
the first use).
