Hm, are there supposed to be more font files with the distribution?  The
only one in the distrib I got was UGLY(something).GSF.  So .GSF files
have to live in a FONTS directory.  To keep my path uncomplicated, I put
the GS executable in the \bin subdirectory.  Does my fontmap file have
to live there too or will it suffice to keep put it in some directory
pointed to by GS_LIB?
