If you followed the instructions, including downloading the 2.6.2 fonts
from prep.ai.mit.edu it should work fine.
It works on the 5.0.2 machine I used to make the HylaFAX OS5 binary.

Someone else on the list running SCO 5.0.2 had gs troubles and also
wanted HP laser support so I made a gs with HP laser suport and it.
For some unknown reason it seemed to fix his gs problems.
Pick it up at ftp://trruw.metro.net/pub/gs.gz

As soon as I get a replacement test machine so I can run SCO OS5 again
I'll make a gs4.04 binary.
