Hi Jack,

I had a similar problem a while back after I had installed some new fonts=
 on=20
my SuSE box - the fonts had been written to:=20
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/truetype/*.ttf=20
owned by root.root and permissions rw-rw----

Which resulted that the Xserver could see them, but GS could not.  I didn=
't=20
try using lpr, but doesn't it run SUID root?

So, check the permissions of your fonts!

Hope that helps,
Maf.
