- Assuming you have some fonts in your PSFonts: directory, here is what might
- be the problem. When loading PSFonts, remember that PostScript font names
- are case sensitive. Be sure that the name of the font and the
- capitalization exactly match the name of the font inside the font file
- (search for 'FontName xxxxxx' in the font file)
