Is this really an error in what Emacs emits? My PostScript is incredibly rusty, but with the PS font name reported by Font Book, it seems to work for me. I wrote a .ps file by hand:

------------- start of file -------
%!
/AmericanTypewriter findfont 12 scalefont setfont
100 400 moveto
(Hello! I'm AmericanTypewriter!) show
showpage
-------------- end of file --------

and it was accepted by Preview in macOS Mojave. American-typewriter-Light worked just as well, and in both cases the correct font was used. I don't have your Hack font installed, however.
