   Before the original Alias "Times" fonts I put % at the beginning   
    of each line   
   I assumed this means it is taken as "text" like the instructions   
      
   I then rewrote the 4 lines   
   /Times-Roman  (/usr/share/PSFONTS/TNR.PFB) ;   
     etc. for the other 3 "Times" fonts   
     as the instructions said.   
      
   Doing a "Find" on Fontmap.GS shows only the   
    blocked originals   
   % /Times-Roman ......   
       and my Changes   
   /Times-Roman  (/usr/share/PSFONTS/TNR.PFB) ;   
      
   No other.
