It should be: 'forget'.
So forget my previous mail, as it was fonts configuration problem, not the 
library itself.

Yes, I finished in manually addition also.
I needed Courier and Helvetica.
My problems were, because of installed some adobe afms (pcrb8a.afm etc.) 
which don't have glyphs for Latin2 fonts.
Normally in ghostscript these fonts are aliased to Nimbus fonts. And they 
have all glyphs I need.
So I had to do gnome-font-install on ghostscript fonts only, and then 
manually add entries for Courier and Helvetice (I found no other way).
Terrible :(
It would be nice to have a tool which looks into ghostscript's fontmap, 
and produces gnome-print.fontmap including aliased fonts.
I can't understand why gnome-print has so sophisticated config file.
The ghostscripts config file is much easier to edit.
