Hello all,

Has anyone had any problems with ghostscript like this...

I've a Red Hat 4.0 system upgraded from a hacked 2.1 and anything that
uses ghostscript (printing filter, ghostview) bombs out with this:

Error: /invalidfont in findfont
Operand stack:
   basefontdict   Courier   15404   --nostringval--   Courier
NimbusMonL-Regu   Times-Roman   NimbusRomNo9L-Regu   Times-Roman
NimbusRomNo9L-Regu
Execution stack:
   %interp_exit   --nostringval--   --nostringval--   --nostringval--
 false   --nostrior, exit code 1
--nostringval--   --nostringval--   --nostringval--   %loop_continue
--nostringval--   --nostringval--   --nostringval--   %loop_con

obviously missing fonts of some sort... any idea what rpm I may have
missed. 

I'm using an HP Desk Jet 520, if that should make a
difference.. though I've reproduced the problem with just ghostview.

These are what I have installed...
