Hi

Having managed to install NFSS from "fontsel.zoo" on archive.cs.ruu, and 
installed the VF and TFM files from DVIPS 5.495, I thought that I had the
necessary tools to use the printer built-in fonts (at least for plain text, 
sticking with CM for math italic). *BUT* when I use style
options [newlfonts,times] with latex, or indeed [newlfonts,timesmath], I get a
message:
	Font cmr/m/n/ not found.
at \begin{dpcument}

So, there's probably something I missed (like times.sty not working with NFSS),
but the documentation is, ahemm, sparse (snd this from someone who installed TeX
on a unix box several times!). 

So, given that I have NFSS and DVIPS 5.495, what is my smoothest route to PS
fonts in documents?
