I would like to use more/different fonts than those supplied with the
Ghostscript 2.52 distribution.  Can I do this??  If so, how?

1. I read somewhere that putting a command similar to 
  (c:\\psfonts\\fontfile) run
at the start of my ghostscript file will load a font stored in "fontfile".
Is this correct ?

2. I presume that I should purchase "Adobe Type 1" fonts?

3. Do I have to fiddle with the Fontmap file that comes with Ghostscript,
   and if so, do I have to recompile Ghostscript (I don't have the source)?

4. Is there anything else that I should know about doing this?

Any help would be appreciated.
