Some of them can be found in Adobe's Acrobat Reader. Just copy them to /usr/local/share/ghostscript/fonts and add entries at the end of /usr/local/share/ghostscript/4.02/Fontmap like this: /Symbol (Symbol) ; /Times-Roman (Times-Roman) ; /Times-Italic (Times-Italic) ; /Times-Bold (Times-Bold) ; /Times-BoldItalic (Times-BoldItalic) ; The first column contains the fontname, the second the corresponding filename with extensions. Beware of the copyright for the fonts; I think personal use is OK. tg
