Search the psfont.map of dvips (it should be in the root "UserData" or
"CommonData"/dvips/config.

Search in the file for lines with ArialMT. Delete this lines and save
the file. (Don't fear to break something, the map file can be easily
recreated)

Then try again.  dvips should no longer complain. But as your eps
doesn't contain the fonts ghostscript (either the one from miktex used
by YAP) or the real one will still have to substitute the font by one
it knows. In my case a get a message like this from gs:

Can't find (or can't open) font file %rom%Resource/Font/ArialMT.
Can't find (or can't open) font file ArialMT.
Querying operating system for font files...
Didn't find this font on the system!
Substituting font Helvetica for ArialMT.
Can't find (or can't open) font file n019003l.pfb.
Loading NimbusSanL-Regu font ...

(You can influence which font gs use in its fontmaps.)

If this is good enough for you: Try to find out which map is adding
the line(s) with arialMT to psfonts.map and remove this map from
updmap.cfg, then call updmap to recreate the maps and test if
everything works.
