Well known desaster of GhostScript. Just grab any Adobe Type 1 PostScript
font you can get, put it into ../lib/ghostscript/fonts and edit your
Fontmap file. There's only one problem about it: Original Adobe fonts
are proprietary. But some of them are included in the freely available
OS/2 2.1 beta distribution, so you may at least install these.
