looking through the files themselves [less] I couldn't see anything
out of the ordinary.  I know the .txt is clean, the .ps I just scaned,
but it looks clean. The PDF is mostly empty, but it does contain
non-printing ascii.

And yeah, the actual output of ps2pdf give me this line:

Error: /invalidfont in --show--


I have re-compiled [ala gentoo and emerge] ghost-script, a2ps, and all
my fonts, to no avail.
