Helge,

thanks for your spot-on reply.  After some toying and getting the
feeling that it definately was a font location issue, I played with
finding the fonts.

It turns out that none of the fonts exist on my system.  Do the fonts
get installed with ghostscript? or are they there from another
package?  I am using the ESP GS package, if that makes any difference.
