Has anyone been able to get Glenn Reid's still.ps to work with
Ghostscript?  I have still.ps V 1.0d release 12 edit 0 and Ghostscript
version 2.4.1.  If I give the following file:

    %!

    /Times-Roman findfont 12 scalefont setfont

    72 300 moveto

    (hello, world) show

    showpage

to distill, I get the following:

    %%BeginSetup
     PROLOGUE begin
    (hello, world) 71.9999 300 T
    1 ENDPAGE
    %%PageTrailer
    %%PageFonts: 
    %%PageBoundingBox: 71 299 129 299 
     end %PROLOGUE
    %%Trailer
    %%Pages: 1 
    %%BoundingBox: 71 299 129 299 
    %%DocumentFonts: 
    %%EOF

This is typical: All font-setting commands simply disappear.  As a
wild guess, I'd say this probably has something to do with the way
findfont operates in GhostScript, but does anyone know for sure?
