[KLUG Members] Ghostscript/pdflib issue

[Adam Bultman]

Hello, everyone. I've got a peculiar problem.  

I have a program that uses ghostscript to change a ps file into pdf.  
However, it seems that with the Helvetica font, it's 'forgetting' the 
numbers 4,7, and 8, and the numbers F, H, K, V, X, Z.  This works on one 
server, using ghostscript 5.50, but this new server, using ghostscript 
7.03 (both AFPL ghostscript) can't.  I've done some googling, I've done 
some other fiddling, and I can't get this stupid thing to be able to use 
the Helvetica font to it's fullest extent. At this point, I've got people 
calling me, and I don't know what to do.  

Help me.  I'm completely lost, and at this point, 1+1 does not make 2.  
Everything points to 'yes', but the program says 'no'.
