>Description:
  The recent update of /usr/ports/print/gsfonts from 5.10 to version 6.0 
breaks printing in the word processor Ted (editors/ted). Ted depends on the 
fonts Courier, Times, and Helvetica. These fonts are not present in either 
gnu-gs-fonts-other-6.0 or gnu-gs-fonts-std-6.0.tar. The changes are show 
here:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/print/gsfonts/Makefile.diff?r1=1.11&r2=1.12&f=h

>How-To-Repeat:
   
    Try to print a document with Ted that includes math symbols or certain 
superscripts and those words are run together on the hardcopy. Ted must have 
access to the  Courier, Times, and Helvetica fonts.      

>Fix:

     Is it possible to use both version 5.10 and 6.0 ghostscript fonts?
