I'll make the quiet assumption that this is just a matter of me not
knowing how to do things.  The following request for help still
stands, though.

I'm running GS 2.5.2 on a 80386 PC, and MS-DOS 5.0, and VGA color
(though I don't think that will help any)

I received a huge amount of fonts with Micrografx Designer, but 'cos
of licensing problems, Helvetica couldn't be named helvetica, etc.
Well, I figured I would set up aliases in the fontmap file, but
ghostscript just gets confused when it tries to load up helvetica.
I've tried every combo of...



/Sans		  (filename);
/Helvetica        /Sans;

...or any other way of permuting those four entries.

Is there something I'm missing?  Or do I just have to go in and do
some name-changing on the fonts?  Thanks in advance.
