   Paul R Schmidtbleicher to All   
   Adding Fonts to Ghostscript   
   04 Aug 22 00:18:57   
   
   From: paulrs@foxinternet.net   
      
   In "/usr/share/ghostscript/9.54.0/Resource/Init/" are two Fontmap files.   
   One is "Fontmap" 109B(ytes) I assume   
   The other is "Fontmap.GS" which can be modified by utilities like "Kate"   
      
   I modified "Fontmap.GS" for 4 "alias" fonts pointing to fonts in a   
   directory included.   
      
   % Aliases   
      
   /Times-BoldItalic		(/usr/share/PSFONTS/TNRBI.PFB)	;   
   /Times-Bold			(/usr/share/PSFONTS/TNRB.PFB)	;   
   /Times-Italic			(/usr/share/PSFONTS/TNRI.PFB)	;   
   /Times-Roman			(/usr/share/PSFONTS/TNR.PFB)	;   
      
   However, it makes no difference when seeking to print a "PS" postscript   
   file.  The nimbus font is chosen   
      
   What step am I missing to get Ghostscript to recognize the changes to the   
   "Fontmap.GS" file.
