Sorry for this off-topic message people, but I don't want you thinking
that Linux is limited to skanky fonts!  :)

May I ask you if you have even installed the full distribution of fonts
that come with a Slackware 3.0+ CD set?  All 300+ megs of them?  You have? 
Oh, but then whether or not you have configured Ghostscript to use them is
of course another issue altogether...
