I note that while I believe that this is a bug in Bash and the 'profile.d' 
script I posted is the fix for the bug, if your only concern is for fonts, there 
is an alternate solution.

You can add code such as this to your: "~/.bash_profile" script:

------8<------8<------8<------8<------8<------8<------8<------8<

HOME=/home/jrt

gs_lib="$HOME/.fonts"

if test -n "$GS_LIB" ; then
     GS_LIB=$gs_lib:$GS_LIB
else
     GS_LIB=$gs_lib
fi

export GS_LIB

------8<------8<------8<------8<------8<------8<------8<------8<

and it will work with LPR or GNUlpr.
