I have a lot of OpenType fonts (.otf) that I need to use with Ghostscript. I tried putting them in the fontmap file the way I do for other fonts (.pfb for example), but Ghostscript gives me an error
when it tries to load the font.

Is OpenType supported by Ghostscript?
If so, how do I get them to work?
If not, can I convert the fonts to .pfb or something that is supported, and
how?

I'm using Windows 2000 and Ghostscript version 7.00.
