texte = Mark, Yes! I did resolve it. I reported it back to the IM list, but maybe the subject wasn't obvious. I opened this thread a couple of times there before I got it resolved. Anyway, I specify an explicit path to the font, and the font is one of the GhostScript fonts. I didn't have any TrueType fonts on that server, but they should work also. First, get a ghostscript font to work to confirm the code, then experiment with other fonts. I found that Verdana did not work for some reason, for instance. Anyway, where everyone else puts just the font, I put /sw/share/doc/ghostscript-fonts/a010015l.pfb (the pfb are the ones that work for me). I just drag the font onto the terminal window, and copy and paste the path from there; easier to get it right.
