A number of people have asked me to pass on the info I got in reply to my
question, so here is the reply that solved the problem for me:

-Just print them to the printer.  The code will execute, and the font
-will be created in the printer.  The only trick, is to know the font 
-name.  Most applications won't know what it is, so you have to tell them.
-You can tell windows the names of the fonts, by altering the win.ini
-file.  If you do your own PS coding, you can easily invoke the fonts
-just like anyother built in font.

-Cheers
-Woody

The way I found out the font name was to look at the last line of the font
definition file where the whole definition is assigned some name (e.g.
Messenger).  It worked like a charm! 

Good luck, fellow PostScript neophytes.
Jon
