Font problems, unable to print

[Jaakko H Kyro]

Hi all!

I'm having problems with printing. I'm using KDE3.2 and I installed  the 
esstix fonts for KFormula. After that all printing ceased working. Tracking 
the problem a little, it seems like ghostscript can't find some default fonts 
like Helvetica or Courier. If I just run 'gs' on the command line, the result 
is:

$ gs
GNU Ghostscript 7.07 (2003-05-17)
Copyright (C) 2003 artofcode LLC, Benicia, CA.  All rights reserved.

Can't find (or can't open) font 
file /usr/share/ghostscript/Resource/Font/Times-Roman.
Can't find (or can't open) font file Times-Roman.
Substituting font Courier for Times-Roman.
Can't find (or can't open) font 
file /usr/share/ghostscript/Resource/Font/Courier.
Can't find (or can't open) font file Courier.
Unable to load default font Courier!  Giving up.
$ 

Same output can be seen in the cups error log. 
None of the applications that use ghostscript for printing work, I'm only able 
to print from the GIMP using Gimp-print drivers and a CUPS raw queue.

The directory
/usr/share/ghostscript/Resource/Font/
is empty.

Reinstalling ghostscript or the fonts didn't help. All the installed font file 
permissions are OK. The file /etc/fonts/Fontmap didn't contain anything 
regarding Courier or Helvetica, so I even tried to add aliases for them, 
didn't help.

I'm using Fedora Core 1 and the KDE packages are from 
kde-redhat.sourceforge.net.
