It seems that ghostscript is broken in RedHat 4.0. I haven't got
ghostview to show anything, and this error message appears in
a window:

Error: /invalidfont in findfont
Operand stack:
f0_1 Times-Roman 67805 --nostringval-- Times-Roman NimbusRomNo9L-R
Execution stack:
%interp_exit --nostringval-- --nostringval-- --nostringval-- false

Current allocation mode is local
Last OS error: 2
Current file position is 52078
Aladdin Ghostscript: Unrecoverable error, exit code 1
Error: PostScript interpreter failed in main window.

And yes, I have both ghostscript and it's fonts installed.
