 I don't know. It's working on Debian, and Debian has those fonts, so... I
 assumed that would fix it. Must be `$SOMETHING` else and I have no idea
 what exactly, off-hand...


 > But why did you install the std fonts in a different way than
 `ghostscript-fonts-other-6.0.tar.gz`? Shouldn't the two be installed in
 some similar fashion?

 Because Debian does so. They install the "other" fonts in a special
 directory only for ghostscript and the "std" fonts in a shared "fontcache"
 directory. Probably so that other programs can use the fonts, too. I don't
 know why the "other" fonts don't also get installed in the shared
 "fontcache" directory, though. Maybe I should take a look at other
 packagers, like FreeBSD ports, arch and Fedora to see how they do it.
