Try here:

ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/distributions/redhat/contrib/noarch/ghostscript-fonts-std-5.10-7.noarch.rpm

and here:

ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/distributions/redhat/contrib/i386/ghostscript-5.10-6.i386.rpm

These seemed rather hard to find.  I think the "noarch" means
architecture-independent, which makes sense, if it's just a bunch of
font files.

You'll have to install one of them with the --ignore-deps option (think
that's it), since, goofily enough, the packages are dependent *on each
other*.

Anyway, these are the ones I'm using, so they ought to work!  :-)
