For the benefit of anyone else with this problem- I found the missing Nimbus* fonts by locate fonts | grep ghostscript and then grep -R Nimbus /usr/share/fonts/default --where they turned up in the /usr/share/fonts/default/Type1 directory. I added a link in /usr/local/share/ghostscript/fonts to there and it's ok now. ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Meagher" <jmeagher@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: <shrike-list@xxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, May 31, 2003 2:14 PM Subject: can't find ghostscript fonts > Hello, > > I suddenly started having problems printing .pdf files under cups and > RH8 Gnome and after no results troubleshooting it, decided maybe > it was a good time to try RH9.
