So, this is my difficulty: I make my script work by suppressing the only space in the file name, while you say that you have no problem (nor difficulty, I presume) having it work on a file with several spaces in the name.

Anyone experiencing a difficulty similar to mine?

No exactly, as I haven't Ghostscript installed here.
But could following make a difference?
Let's say I have a file called 'test 2.txt' on the Desktop.
In AppleScript:
set P1 to (POSIX path of (path to desktop folder))
set P1 to quoted form of (P1 & "test 2.txt")
--> '/Users/luttgens/Desktop/test 2.txt'
But dragging the file's icon over a Terminal window yields:
/Users/luttgens/Desktop/test\ 2.txt
I'm not sure, but I think having encountered some commands preferring
second form.
