When I upgraded gs last evening I also installed ghostscript-fonts-std-8.11.tar.gz. These turn out to belong in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/URW. So I moved them there and ran mkfontdir. Thought I was good to go.
All resolved: epstopdf works and the figure is no longer rotated 90 degrees. Jean-Pierre provided the clue.
I made a subdirectory, /usr/local/share/ghostscript/fonts/ then made symlinks to the URW fonts within that directory. Now epstopdf can find the fonts it wants. Whew!
And public thanks to Jean-Pierre for his patience and help.
