It's very odd, since afaik we're both using the same input files, the same instance of xetex, the same TeXLive 2014 files, and so forth, and running on the same machine.  Clearly s.t. is different, but I'm not sure what, and this email is a query about what I should be looking for.

The problem looks to be with Ghostscript.
You may be using different versions, so check that first.

Yes. That PDF presumably has some text in it, using Times font as  TimesNewRomanPSMT .
Others used to using XeTeX under Linux may be able to offer a more detailed understanding
of the specific kind of error.
