Well, I posted this because a newbie can make this work immediately.  I haven't
had much luck with TT fonts.  The output just isn't as nice as the PS versions.

I'd rather use my PS fonts.  I'm told XFree supports them directly, but I first
need to run mkfontdir to generate the fonts.alias and fonts.dir files.

man mkfontdir makes no mention of PS, only some formats I haven't seen in
years.  Pointing mkfontdir to my PS dirs generates a fonts.dir file with one
line containing a zero - it isn't seeing anything.  These are the
*.afm/*.pfb/*.pfm files, it doesn't seem to work with them.

The GIMP book by Hammel mentions a type1inst utility on an Australian
educational server, but I can never get into it, or find this program anywhere
else.

I'd appreciate any help with the PS fonts.

Mark
