linux fonts and CMN

[Celso Aguiar]

I've just tried a CMN file in ghostscript/ghostview.
It worked quite fine. I (as root) just had to:

cd Sonata.font
cp Sonata /usr/share/ghostscript/fonts/Sonata.pfa

then (as root) edit the /usr/share/ghostscript/fonts/Fontmap file
to include:

% My font for music

/Sonata                                 (Sonata.pfa)    ;

That line has to go the way it is. Ghostscript/view is very
strict about that. The same about the ; in the end.

>From what I read in its fonts.doc file, ghostscript should
be able to use any Type1 font once it's installed in the system.
Things only worked for me after I actually copyed the .pfa to
ghostscript's font directory.

Hey, Bill, thanks for caring.
