postscript fonts

I was trying to read some of the inferno docs using ghostscript/ghostview
under windows, and some of the ps files are barely readable - words
overlapping, etc. It looks like gsview is using some default courier font
rather than the document-specified one. Is there any way to add the
plan9/inferno postscript fonts to a windows ghost[script|view]
installation?

Some of the .ps wants Lucida font, and default substitution with Courier
looks weird. I was succeed with adding following line at the end of Fontmap:

/LucidaSansUnicode00            /NimbusSanL-Regu ;

Re: postscript fonts

i'll try to remember to put the necessary fonts (or characters from them)
into the .ps files next time i build them.  i'm suspect i probably didn't notice
because they were already installed on the machine i use to check things,
and i didn't think of that one.
