When I use a font say ``pstb'' of DVIPS distribution for emTeX and run DVIPS, There is an error message: Could not find header file Stone Serif-Bold.pfb. While some other fonts like ``phvb'' work fine. Could some one help me understand the error message and find the solution for it? Thanks. Please email.

StoneSerif-Bold is not a built-in font. Helvetica-Bold (which phvb
refers to) is. You must buy StoneSerif separately.
This is one way to do it, if my memory is correct:
1) Buy the Adobe "Stone Serif" Type 1 Font for the Macintosh.
2) Run the "unAdobe" program on the Macintosh (available from various
archives) on the font files. You get *.unAdobe files. Transfer
these as *text* to your PeeCee.
3) These *.unAdobe files can now be renamed to corresponding *.pfb files.
You could also buy the fonts in PC format, but I don't know how to
proceed in that case.
Could somebody please explain the legal aspects. Are Adobe fonts
licensed to be used on one printer (at a time?) only? Or one machine
only? Or by one individual (at a time?) only?

the .pfb files in a PC distribution from Adobe are binary; I don't
know if dvips reads them or not, but there is a small program called
pbtops as part of dvitops which converts them to ASCII for safety's
sake

They are licensed to a *printer*. if you own one printer and 1 Mac and
1 PC, its legal.
