It is a file. Best is probably to download a tarball of gnome-print,
compile it and use the gnome-print-install program provided
in it. I do not have RH7 here. otherwise, I would have sent you my fontmap 
file.

If you are using helix rpms, I have already seen this problem: they have a bug
which does not install the fontmap file. If you are using RH7's gnome-print,
I guess they have a bug too.
