 Thanks so much.

That file (Fontmap) was empty. Wonder how that happened? 
At least now kprinter seems to work.  I'm not totally sure about all of the 
font choices, but I can work on that.  Do kde-generated pdf's always look 
anti- aliased when viewed through acrobat reader.  They seem to look better 
in xpdf, etc.

thanks again,
