David; I'm replying via the list in case anyone else is as clueless 
as me and therefore might be helped by yr response.

I've downloaded all the files.  What next?  Do I just copy them to 
/usr/lib/ghostscript/fonts ???

I see I already have a Courier-Bold.afm which I assume is what I'm 
using right now for e-mail_to_fax msgs.  Shd I just trash this?   And 
what are the *.pfa file?  Do I need these too?

Sorry for the dumb questions...
