Font installation with gnome-print

[Miroslav Silovic <silovic zesoi fer hr>]

I've been compiling gnome-1.0.40 on Solaris 2.6 (using gcc), in order
of the README file that comes with it (I want to see how smooth the
entire operation will be).

While installing gnome-print, it seems unable to find any fonts on the
system. Running manually, I get:

[petra]:/export/home3/tmp/gnome/gnome-1.0.40/gnome-print-0.8>./gnome-font-install --system --scan --no-copy                  \
        --afm-path=/opt/beta/share/fonts/afms                   \
        --pfb-path=/opt/beta/share/fonts/pfbs                   \
        --afm-assignment=ghostscript,/opt/tools/lib/ghostscript/3.33:/opt/tools/lib/ghostscript/fonts --pfb-assignment=ghostscript,/opt/tools/lib/ghostscript/3.33:/opt/tools/lib/ghostscript/fonts                                     \
        --pfb-assignment=ghostscript,/usr/share/ghostscript/fonts \
        --pfb-assignment=ghostscript,/usr/lib/ghostscript/fonts   \
        --pfb-assignment=ghostscript,/usr/share/fonts/default/Type1 \
        --pfb-assignment=ghostscript,/usr/share/fonts/default/ghostscript \
        --afm-assignment=ghostscript,/usr/share/ghostscript/fonts \
        --afm-assignment=ghostscript,/usr/lib/ghostscript/fonts   \
        --afm-assignment=ghostscript,/usr/share/fonts/default/Type1 \
        --afm-assignment=ghostscript,/opt/tools/lib/ghostscript/3.33 \
        ./fonts
/opt/beta/share/fonts/fontmap

** WARNING **: Warning: the Times font was not found. Printing is unlikely
to work unless basic fonts are installed. Please see:

Note that it aparently looks for gs fonts in the right place (line
/opt/tools/lib/ghostscript/3.33 is mentioned in the command line
above), as well as the font directory from gnome-print tarball. But
the result is empty fontmap file. What to look for?
