Thanks. I was beginning to wonder.

I think I faced this problem sometime back as well. Never got it fixed.
The crux of the matter is: how does Debian (Linux in general?) deal with
printing a ttf font to PS -- without having to tweak a number of conf
files and making font files.

I am thinking I should give this a try on a Ubuntu machine. If it works
there, I can work backwards and see what I am missing in Debian. This
sucks though, with all the user friendliness we have these days in Linux.

BTW, I am trying to push Linux in a local community center (also trying
to convince them that the MS Windows they keep on install on all
computers donated to them without Windows is not really legal!). If they
discover this problem, 'Againt-Linux' camp is going to shred me to
tatters there (you know this camp, they believe everyone has MS Windows
and that it is universal).

Why is it that you need to use TT fonts? Debian has free fonts
available as standard packages that "just work".
