Solved it myself:
Just in case someone has similar problems here is the solution.
It was OpenOffice itself that was the problem. It could display any Truetype
font but could not print them correctly.
I think my mistake was in using ./spadmin to import my TT fonts into
OpenOffice before using drakfont to import the same fonts into the system.
Reinstalling OO fixed it, and all the TT fonts known to drakfont were
immediately available to OO without having to use ./spadmin
Grrr I spent 8 hours tracking that one down, and it all started when I could
not get kdeprintfax to send a fax Oh well, I've learned a lot about
Ghostscript and X Font servers...

Has anyone had any success printing Documents with fonts imported from
Windows with 8.2?
Here is my scenario :-
drakfont used to import fonts from Windows - No problem. All the fonts come
over OK
openoffice used to create document using tahoma font (for example) -
Document is printed to file as postscript.
Any attempt to open the file with Ghostscript produces error
[derek@Derek derek]$ gs file_name
AFPL Ghostscript 7.04 (2002-01-31)

Error: /undefinedfilename in --.libfile--

Blah blah
When I do the same thing using one of the Mandrake built in fonts this
procedure works.
I have tried upgrading from ghostscript 6.53 to 7.04 and have upgraded
ghostscript-fonts to 6.0
I have also tried defining the GS_FONTPATH cariable to include the
directory where the imported fonts are stored
[derek@Derek derek]$ echo $GS_FONTPATH
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/drakfont/Type1:/usr/share/ghostscript/fonts
Running out of ideas. Any suggestions?
TIA
