Or you could try including the font(s) in your PostScript document, for
example with `includeres' (this is part of Debian's `psutils' package or
you can get it from http://www.tardis.ed.ac.uk/~ajcd/psutils/).

On the other hand, if you're just using the standard Adobe fonts that
come with Lout (Times, Palatino, etc.), then there shouldn't be any
problem because most PostScript printers and viewers already know these
fonts, so they usually don't need to be included in the PostScript file.

Good luck!

Ludovic.
