   My assumption was that editing the the Fontmap.GS file (as directed in the   
   file itself - which I accurately followed) would mean that GS would read   
   it at initialization and incorporate the changes.  With me was   
   substituting for the "generic" nimbus fonts that GS uses with the right   
   fonts from the original application producing the postscript (*.ps) output   
   file.  The (*.ps) postscript file output reads the two fonts used as   
   "Times-Roman" and "Times-Bold." GS substitutes (dotmatrix looking) nimbus   
   fonts.   
      
   Now, if I add "-c loadallfonts" to the command line it runs several   
   screens over 2-3 minutes of "loading cant find ....." BUT finally does get   
   to the right fonts.  My goal was to circumvent this wasted activity and   
   get immediately to the right fonts and print it out.   
      
   Interestingly, GV Ghostview loads the right screen on my monitor with the   
   right fonts, but on printing (from GV) its back to the dot-matrix looking   
   nimbus fonts.   
      
   Thanks for any suggestions,
