Happy New Year netters!

I have a problem trying to link in some fonts to my gs image. After
running font2c on ANY file, the output is virtually the same as if
I'ld run font2c on ugly.gsf!! The commands

$font2c ptmr.gsf ptmr.c
$font2c ugly.gsf ugly.c
$diff ptmr.c ugly.c 

shows only small differenes; really weird that there is some difference
but not the amount you'ld expect from two different fonts. And ptmr.c
is defining gsf_Ugly.  And linking in ugly.o and ptmr.o results in

ld: ptmr.o: _gsf_Ugly: multiply defined
ld: ugly.o: _gsf_Ugly: multiply defined

and

ld: Undefined symbol
   _gsf_Times_Roman

I've checked and double checked that I'm following the steps in
fonts.doc. This is release 2.5.2 of Ghostscript. I'm on a Sparc 2
running SunOs 4.1.2. Anybody out there got a clue? I've got to get
this done!

thanks,
