exactly... the problem is that defoma-hints does not work with these 
truetype fonts... they are built for M$ system and defoma-hints cannot 
extract the necessary data.

The question is, can I put the fonts into /usr/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType/ and 
add them myself according to the howto, or will it collide with defoma?

Another question would be how to make ghostscript to know the fonts.
