What to do:
1. Check, whether there is run-gnome-font-install in /usr/share/fonts
   If it is not, you have to get one from gnome-print-0.25 tarball.
2. Check, whether there is adobe-urw.font in /usr/share/fonts.
   If not, you can find one from tarball also.
3. Add '/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/URW' to the start of script (you see,
   there are many additional directories listed, just add one more). The
   idea is to not rely on ghostscript for finding font path, but add
   as many default ones, as possible.
4. Save a copy of your existing /usr/share/fonts/fontmap
5. Run command:

   perl /usr/share/fonts/run-gnome-font-install \
        /usr/bin/gnome-font-install /usr/share /usr/share

6. Check, whether the new fontmap file have entries for Helvetica etc.
7. If yes, gnumeric should print
   If no, send me the output of the script above
