If you get an "/undefined in PaintType" error message from
Ghostscript, especially if you are working with files produced by
Word Perfect, there is a two-line workaround.  In Ghostscript 2.5.2,
change line 677 of gs_init.ps from
	7 dict dup begin
to
	8 dict dup begin
	/PaintType 0 def

The problem is that some applications assume that the default font is
a Type 1 font.  Nothing in the Adobe documentation specifies this,
and it happens not to be true currently in Ghostscript.
