Hmm what do I have ?

lp|local line printer:\
        :lp=/dev/par0:sd=/var/spool/lpd:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:sb:if=/usr/local/sbin/apsfilter:sh:

apsfilter was/is found on the NetBSD-Amiga ftp.uni-regensburg.de site
if I'm not mistaken

Hmm, if it is the courier is being used (read screwed up) as 
a proportional font problem I can say yes.
system is IRIX 5.3 with Ghostscript 4 or 5, I think 5
(because of special PDF requirements)

reading them with gv (ghostview sucessor, but much better)
seems not to be the problem

If I'm not mistaken, does Ghostscript not have some sort of fontmap ?
