I am not sure if this is the correct news group, and if it is
inappropriate I apologize.

I installed X11R5 on a SUN IPX (4.1.2) and then installed GS2.4.

The font documentation implies that GS uses the MIT X11 fonts but GS
fails to find any fonts other than the default UGLY font. Is there
a necessity to install separate fonts for GS? If this is so, why
does the font.doc file refer to the use of the X11 fonts? I would
rather not replicate the fonts in another directory for GS to use
if this can be avoided.

Again I apologize for the neophyte question.....


Thanks for any help or pointers you can provide....
