I configured my X11 to use the 35 standard PS type1 fonts from URW
that comes with gs 4.x and later.  Just symlink these files into e.g.,
/usr/local/X11/lib/X11/fonts/urw and run type1inst to get the files
fonts.dir und fonts.scale.  If someone is interested I could email the
fonts.dir, fonts.scale, and a shell script making the symlinks.

BTW: I hope the license of URW for Aladdin allows this usage of these
     fonts.
