Figured it out. using 'gs -h' I was able to locate where gs thought the fonts should be. then after installing "slocate" I was able to track down the actual location of fonts, then linked the real location to the presumed location. Not sure why there was a disconnect between the presumed and actual font locations, but whatever, its working! Rob Robert Montgomery wrote:

I'm new to OS X and especially this whole macports / darwinports thing, however my first impression was, "wow, that was easy"! However, things didnt work out so well in the end. It appeared that I was able to install ghostview & gv (using port) with no apparent problems. However, I cant view any .ps files which have text in them because I always get an "invalid font" error. I'm using basic built in fonts like Courier and Helvetica. I've used the same exact postscript syntax to call those fonts for well over a decade and never had a problem from a variety of unix/linux flavors... My understanding was that these were core fonts that were part of every postscript interpreter, which is why we always used these basic fonts. So anyways, I guess I was wrong.

Anyone have an idea of how to get these (or any fonts) working?

THANKS! Rob
