The problem here is that the font names created on the GS do NOT correspond 
correctly (for the most part) to the font names on the LaserWriter.  I spent
lots of time editing my PS files and changing the names, then figured out
a better way and wrote a sed script that will change the GS fonts to the
correct LW fonts (if available).  I don't have ftp access right now, but I  
put it on tiberius and I think apple2.archive last month.  It's called gs2mac.bsq
and the allowed LW fonts are included in the file.  You'll need either ORCA or 
some machine that will run sed.  Hope this helps!
