Well, and even better for those with slow net access
might be, if the font TAR file names would not change 
with each minor release. The names I'd prefer to see 
used in the port are:

	ghostscript-fonts-other-3.0.tar.gz
	ghostscript-fonts-std-4.0.tar.gz

One of the font TAR files has last been changed nearly
two years ago, the other one has ben valid for all the
gs-3 releases, and was replaced for gs-4, but applies
to 4.00 and 4.01. See the following directory listing
from the Aladdin FTP server:
