Not to be picky or anything, but whether or not a font is available to X has *absolutely no bearing* as to whether Ghostscript likes it or not. Ghostscript won't magically recognize X fonts; the various Postscript previewers based on Ghostscript will correctly render Ghostscript fonts in complete ignorance of X's font scheme. By way of useful advice, though, I'd read through /usr/share/doc/gs/Fonts.htm. The "Adding your own fonts" section mentions how to convert a BDF bitmap font to a Type 1 font; I'm not clear if a PCF font can readily be converted to BDF, though (the other direction appears to be possible). -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.debian.org/~dmaze/ "Theoretical politics is interesting.
